In \u003ci\u003e\"There Are Things I Want You to Know\" About Stieg Larsson and Me\u003c\/i\u003e, Gabrielsson accepts the daunting challenge of telling their story, steeped in love and sharpened in the struggle for justice and human rights. She chooses to tell it in short, spare, lyrical chapters, like snapshots, regaling Larsson's readers with how he wrote, why he wrote, who the sources are were for Lisbeth and his other characters—graciously answering Stieg Larsson's readers' most pressing questions—and at the same time telling us the things we didn't know we wanted to know—about love and loss, death, betrayal, and the mistreatment of women.“One of the most gripping back-stories of Stieg Larsson’s \u003ci\u003eMillennium \u003c\/i\u003etrilogy\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewas the tale of the author’s 32-year relationship with architect and activist Eva Gabrielsson, and the fact that, because  they were never officially married, she was cut out of any say in, or  profit from, Larsson’s literary estate. Here she tells the story of that  relationship, with many previously unseen pictures and including the  letter Larsson left for her to be opened after his death.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“For the millions of readers and film-goers who've been hooked by \u003ci\u003eThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo\u003c\/i\u003e and its trilogy,\u003ci\u003e \"There Are Things I Want You to Know\" About Stieg Larsson and Me\u003c\/i\u003e is a book not to be missed. Eva Gabrielsson, Larsson's life partner, tells us the reasons he was able to see the world through female eyes, his punishment for challenging a form of injustice still thought of as inevitable, and the aftermath of a success he didn't live to see.\" \u003cb\u003e—Gloria Steinem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Writing in a memorably austere, flinty voice, Gabrielsson has produced neither a tell-all nor some 'handmaiden to literary genius' emo-gusher … Gabrielsson comes across as rigid, obsessed, and humorless, but a fierce warrior in fighting for what she sees as justice. Not unlike Larsson's own heroine.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Provides stunning, strong explications of Larsson's ideologies, most notably his feminism … As a legal drama, it's compelling.
