The great headlines for Stieg Larsson addicts: dual unpublished manuscripts have been unearthed in his local Sweden. The bad news: they have zero to do with the Millennium trilogy and, in any case, fans competence never be means to review them.
The National Library of Sweden last night suggested that it was in receive of dual scholarship novella stories, sent by a 17-year-old Larsson to a repository in the 1970s in an try at creation his edition debut.
Unlike the labyrinthine Millennium novels, the teenage works, The Crystal Balls and The Flies, are not thought to run to some-more than five pages each.
In a minute concomitant his suppositional acquiescence to the Jules Verne magazine, Larsson described himself as "a 17-year-old man from Umea in the north of Sweden with dreams of apropos an writer and journalist".
The repository at once dejected those dreams, rejecting his initial indeterminate well read efforts.
Decades later, in 2007, the stories were donated to the living room as piece of a wider repository supposing by the Jules Verne magazine. And there they collected dust until yesterday, and the librarys open revelation.
The big subject right away is either these teenage stories will ever be seen by Larssons voracious public.
Larsson had a heart attack, elderly 50, and died in 2004 prior to the initial monthly payment of Lisbeth Salanders implausible tale, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, was published and prior to he could finish penning the full Millennium series, that was ostensible to run to 10 books.
The writer never wrote a will and as a result, underneath Swedish law, his estate together with the rights to his books went to his father and hermit and not his partner of some-more than thirty years, Eva Gabrielsson. (She does have receive of a laptop containing a to some extent created fourth book, that Larssons family has attempted to purchase).
Public entrance to element in the repository of the Swedish National Library is motionless on a case-by-case basis, depending on the content.
Magdalena Gram, the emissary inhabitant librarian of Sweden, told The Independent that the living room would be removing in hit with Larssons father and hermit per the short stories. Publisher Eva Gedin, who edited the best-selling Millennium trilogy, pronounced that she was uncertain either the new manuscripts would ever be published, but that there had been conversations about releasing alternative pieces of essay by Larsson.
"It is in the hands of the rights holders if they are meddlesome in carrying them published," she said.
"We have discussed with his hermit edition articles from Expo [the Swedish repository Larsson edited] and alternative magazines."
Ms Gedin removed that Swedens crime novella prodigy had been meddlesome in apropos an writer from an early age. "His father and mom gave him a typewriter when he was fourteen years old," she said. "They had to steal income essentially to means the typewriter, and he rught away proposed to write stories."
Larsson was a fan of scholarship novella as a youngster, she said, "[but] my personal perspective is that... if you cruise his crime novels, I think what he wrote as a publisher in his repository Expo is some-more continuous to his novella than may be these early pieces."
