IntroductionThis novel supplies a genealogical table of five generations of a particular family named Vanger who are under investigation, which is for keeping track of the large number of family members.
An epic tale of serial murder and corporate trickery spanning several continents, the novel takes in complicated international financial fraud and the buried evil past of a wealthy Swedish industrial family. Through its main character, it also references classic forebears of the crime thriller genre while it stylistically follows and mixes aspects of the sub-genres. There are mentions of Astrid Lindgren, Enid Blyton, Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, as well as Sue Grafton, Val McDermid, Elizabeth George, Sara Paretsky, and several other key figures in the history of the detective novel. As a journalist and magazine editor in Stockholm until his death, Larsson reveals a knowledge and enjoyment of both English and American crime fiction. He declared that he wrote his opus in the evening after work for his own pleasure.[1]
The towns mentioned are real, with the exception of Hedestad. The Millennium magazine featured in the books parallels Larsson's own real-life magazine Expo, which also had financial difficulties, at which he was a journalist and editor.[2]Source URL: https://jameellamellannyes.blogspot.com/2010/04/introduction-this-novel-supplies.html
