"
Lisbeth is also the name of the girl Larsson saw get gang-raped when he was a teenager. The real Lisbeth never forgave him, so the books are wish-fulfillment"

Wow, publicizing that seems...really creepy and invasive. It would be one thing if he kept that to himself. But telling it, wow no.

Re: OP

Exactly. I haven't delved too deep into it (maybe someone else can chime in and confirm) but considering Larsson was pretty young when he died, it's entirely possible the real Lisbeth is alive and well in the world. I can't imagine what it'd be like to be fictionalized and my childhood trauma publicized like that.

It's fine to have inspirations. I'm pretty forgiving of the artistic process and writers using others' pain to get ideas, but it really rubbed me the wrong way about how he seemed to make that pain and trauma about himself and how *he* had never gotten closure about it. I get that it's a horrific thing to witness, but let's not lose focus on the person who was actually being assaulted. And that sense of it being really about him echoed through the books for me.

Re: OP

Yeah I see what you mean. That was another issue i saw with it. SHE got raped but HE needed closure about his guilt or whatever.

Well, he wasn't the one telling it, tbf. This was only publicised after his death. The only interview Larsson gave pointed to her as being a grown up Pippi Long stocking. Which is awesome.
