(The Crime Boom Investigated: Statistical Perspectives on Swedish Crime Fiction, 1977–2010.) Skrifter utgivna av Avdelningen för litteratursociologi vid Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen i Uppsala, 64, Uppsala 2012, 224 pp. Swedish text. Abstract: This study examines the boom in Swedish crime fiction from a statistical perspec- tive. Theoretical input and methods are derived from the fields of sociology of literature, book history, and bibliometrics. With a quantitative approach, all Swe- dish crime fiction published in 1977–2010 (just over 1,700 titles) are compiled to identify patterns over time. The main source for bibliographical information and delimitations is “Deckarkatalogen” (an annual bibliography published by the Swe- dish crime fiction magazine Jury). Main results: Nearly 2.5 times as many first editions of crime fiction were is- sued in Sweden in the first decade of the 2000s, compared to the 1980s. The in- crease was particularly vast in the years following the turn of the millennium. All kinds of publishers have contributed to this expansion, but two types stand out: major publishers and self-publishers. The share of crime fiction written by women increased in the same period of time from between 10 and 20 percent to just over 30 percent. Furthermore, the gender balance among the bestsellers of crime fiction in the 2000s is nearly even. -

As Seen in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson: Coffee As Materiality
Paper from the conference On the Move: ACSIS conference 11–13 June, Norrköping, Sweden 2013, organised by the Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of Sweden (ACSIS). Conference Proceedings published by Linköping University Electronic Press at http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=095. © The Author. Coffee and Class for the Swedes – as seen in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson: Coffee as materiality Åsa Ljungström Independent researcher In the Millennium Trilogy coffee and class express the paradox of the dream of a classless society denying the divisiveness of class affiliation in Sweden. Coffee is used to create affinity while the consumption of other kinds of food and drink is used to subtly mark social hierarchies. Swedish people like to believe that it is possible for anyone to climb the social ladder; equality is the ideal since the 1960s. Having a coffee works to level the communication between people IRL as well as in the novels. The author uses the coffee as a formula to get the storyline going, introduce new characters or forecast events. Not until the New York Times’ columnist wrote about the pathological coffee consumption did the Swedes notice. The Swedes will have a coffee during a break at work, at home, with a friend, or whenever they open communication. The serving of coffee makes a self-evident statement in any group. Drawing on theory of materiality and presence the presentation aims to analyse coffee running through the human bodies creating chains of communication. Anything is possible with a coffee for Stieg Larsson’s characters coping with the morale of good and evil, black and white. -

One conjures up a brooding Bergmanesque figure contemplating the long dark winter. [. .] Another narrative component just as vital is the often bleak Scandinavian landscape which serves to mirror the thoughts of the characters. ——Jeremy Megraw and Billy Rose, “A Cold Night’s Death: The Allure of Scandinavian Crime Fiction”1 The above quote from the New York Public Library’s website serves as a mise-en-place for introducing Scandinavian crime fiction by presenting the idea of the exotic, mysterious North. A headline on the website associates the phrase “A Cold Night’s Death” with the genre often called Nordic noir. A selection of Swedish book covers is on display, featuring hands dripping with blood, snow-covered fields spotted with red, and dark, gloomy forests. A close-up of an ax on one cover implies that there is a gruesome murder weapon. At a glance it is apparent that Scandinavian crime fiction is set in a winter landscape of death that nevertheless has a seductive allure. -
Stieg Larsson: Inclaudicable Activista E Insoslayable Escritor Del Periodismo Alternativo a La Igualdad De Género I
Stieg Larsson: inclaudicable activista e insoslayable escritor Del periodismo alternativo a la igualdad de género I. Introducción La novela policíaca sufrió un cambio profundo con la obra del autor sueco Stieg Larsson, al aportarle una protagonista de las características de Lisbeth Salander. La suya es una escritura innovadora también, ya que introduce temas poco comunes dentro del género como la corrupción y defraudación financiera, el racismo, la xenofobia, la trata de personas y la violencia contra la mujer. La polémica que ha desatado la propuesta del escritor escandinavo merecen un detenido y detallado análisis. Y es que no cualquiera aceptaría sin más un personaje de las características de Lisbeth Salander. Salander es una protagonista difícil y compleja de aceptar, sobre todo, por esa ingeniosa mezcla de ingredientes que le dan un perfil multifacético y extravagante: poseedora de una fuerza inhumana increíble, justiciera vengativa, individualista irremediable, hacker excepcional, bisexual, autista explosiva, entre subversiva y anarquista, de memoria fotográfica envidiable, espalda tatuada, cierto aire gótico, y, finalmente, maltratada y violada. Estas características, pero sobre todo su manera de asumir el maltrato y la violación, la han convertido en una suerte de heroína de millones en el mundo. Pero nada de ello surge de la simple imaginación del autor. El origen de esta genial ficción literaria está, de una parte, en el reciente auge de la novela sueca dentro de un género dominado, principalmente, por la literatura anglosajona; y de la otra, en el contexto histórico y los cambios sociales, culturales e ideológicos que se han producido en la sociedad. Todos estos elementos conforman un entramado que se expresa en su máxima tensión poniendo a prueba los valores e ideales que han caracterizado a Suecia como tercera vía (entre el comunismo y el capitalismo) y como modelo de sociedad del bienestar, algo sobre lo cual volveremos adelante. -

1 the Millennium Trilogy and the American Serial Killer Narrative: Investigating Protagonists of Men Who Write Women Barbara F
1 The Millennium Trilogy and the American Serial Killer Narrative: Investigating Protagonists of Men Who Write Women Barbara Fister Draft of a chapter published in Rape in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy: Contemporary Scandinavian and Anglophone Crime Fiction edited by Berit Åström, Katarina Gregersdotter, and Tanya Horck (Palgrave, 2013, 34-50.) Readers in the United States were the last among residents of developed nations to discover the Millennium Trilogy. Even though the books were international bestsellers, publishers were reluctant to launch them in the American market, uncertain about their audience appeal. Sonny Mehta, legendary editor and publisher at Knopf, eventually acquired the books and gave them a significant marketing push, but later confessed he had had reservations, saying ‘I had nightmares that we would be the only country where it didn’t work’ (McGrath 2010). American readers, who embrace the short chapters and fast-paced, reality-lite storylines of James Patterson and Dan Brown, seemed an unlikely consumer market for thrillers that take their time developing a story, express leftist political views, and are translations set in a foreign country. There was precedent for Mehta’s concern; globally bestselling authors such as Ian Rankin and Henning Mankell had not found as receptive an audience in the United States as they had elsewhere. Yet the trilogy became phenomenally popular in the US, just as it had in countries around the world. Why did it succeed against the odds? When describing the appeal of the books, readers in online discussions, blog posts, and reviews repeatedly attribute its appeal to the girl of the title. -
Sélection Café Littéraire 2019/2020 : La Littérature Suédoise
Sélection café littéraire 2019/2020 : la littérature suédoise 12 Novembre 2019 Mon frère et son frère, Håkan Lindquist, Gaïa (2002) R LIN Jonas est fils unique. Pourtant, dès l'âge de trois ans, il sent qu'il n'aurait pas dû l'être. Il regarde la photo de Paul, qui le regarde. Quand Jonas est triste, Paul est triste. Quand Jonas est joyeux, Paul est joyeux. Paul est mort 502 jours avant la naissance de Jonas, un accident idiot qui prive Jonas de frère. A treize ans, Jonas se lance dans une quête : il part à la recherche de son frère, à la recherche de celui avec qui il ne fera pas toutes ces choses qu'ils auraient pu faire ensemble. Qui était Paul, qu'a-t-il vécu, qu'était-il lorsqu'il est mort? Jonas questionne ses parents et Daniel l'ami de la famille, découvre le journal intime de Paul. Au fil de son enquête, Jonas apprend. Il reconstruit la courte existence de Paul, se construit lui aussi, adolescent en proie aux doutes et aux questionnements. Et se découvre lui-même. Le matricule des anges : Håkan Lindquist fait partie de ces écrivains (on pense à Mingarelli) qui savent se retirer de leurs récits pour que ceux-ci n’aient que le silence sur quoi s’appuyer. Un silence grâce auquel les disparus trouvent toujours une forme de résurrection, ou un prolongement à leur existence.
