A short Q&A with David Lagercrantz:
David Lagercrantz, how did the attention around The Girl in the Spider’s Web
affect you?
“I couldn’t have
imagined what effect the news about an upcoming fourth novel in the Millennium
series would have. I thought people would shrug their shoulders and get on with
their lives. Instead, Swedish and international media went half crazy and the
whole thing just escalated. Sure, I fantasized that the novel would become a
success; I am after all a hopeless dreamer. When I find things most difficult,
I dream of triumphs, and most often I am disappointed. But this time I was
amazed by the response.”
How did you find the motivation to write another book in the series?
“Stieg Larsson created
a fantastic universe that I feel continuously inspired by. On holiday with my
family an idea struck me, and gave me the same fever that I lived with when I
wrote The Girl in the Spider’s Web.
It is not so great for my sleep and my neurosis, but it is definitely good for
my writing.”
