Stockholm .- The Swedish David Lagercrantz confessed to writing the fourth installment of the series of detective novels Millennium , which goes on sale 11 years after the death of its creator, a “manic-depressive” state, AFP reported.
On the eve of its launch in 25 countries, under the watchful eye of the editor Eva Gedin, Lagercrantz confessed to thirty foreign journalists fear felt by continuing the work of Stieg Larsson.
“I was terrified (…). I said long ago that was bipolar, in a dormant state, and I think that was a good thing to write” this novel, said the author, who continued the story of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, interrupted after Larsson’s death.
“It was not the easiest person to live because he was thinking all the time on this. I had all day fear not keep up, “admitted the writer, visibly anxious about what will be the host of the work.
Larsson, author of the series, died suddenly of a heart attack in 2004 at the 50, without enjoying the success of his novel, which became a worldwide sales phenomenon, with nearly 80 million copies sold. His work also inspired two film adaptations, one in Sweden and one in Hollywood.
On a stage decorated for the occasion, Lagercrantz evoked the great “love” you have to work.
“I dream to be Mikael Blomkvist. It is a nice guy with good values,” said the author.
In the first row, Erland Larsson, father of the late writer, attended the launch, alternating serious faces with eyes that showed the interest that generated the project.
He and his son Joakim Larsson were the official heirs of the deceased author, while his partner, Eva Gabrielsson, who lived for 32 years, was relegated and accused of having made a bad management of its succession.
A couple of months, Gabrielsson disagreed with all the business generated Millennium .
