In what surely represents a big coup for the indie publisher, Seven Stories Press has acquired North American rights to an as-yet-untitled memoir by Eva Gabrielsson, the life-partner of the late Stieg Larsson, author of the internationally bestselling Millennium Trilogy. The book, which is being translated into English by Linda Coverdale, is slated for June 2011 publication.
The memoir, which will be published in French, Swedish and Norwegian in January 2011, recounts Larsson and Gabrielsson’s 30-years together, traces sources of episodes and characters in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, discusses Larsson’s sudden death in 2004, and describes the ongoing saga of the lost fourth book. It’s sure to be a huge seller among ravenous Larsson fans.
