ABOUT THE BOOK
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is a crime thriller, the third and final book of Stieg Larsson's Millennium series. It is a direct sequel to The Girl Who Played With Fire, and the two were originally intended to have their chapters numbered sequentially. Larsson and his long-time partner and writing companion Eva Gabrielsson originally imagined the series as comprising ten novels; but Larssons unexpected death halted this plan three-quarters of the way through construction of the fourth novel, and prior to publication of the first. As a result, the Millennium trilogy was published one novel at a time after the author's death in 2004.
EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
Larsson weaves several themes throughout his novels, many of them involving 'the little guy' - individuals rendered powerless when confronted by larger, oppressive forces. Men and women - mostly women in the Millennium trilogy - branded as deviating from cultural/societal norms are the victims of systematic and cultural violence against them, Larsson believed. Larssons views are supported every day by stories in American newspaper relating bullying in schools, gay bashing on the streets, the necessity to pass and enforce hate crime laws, well-financed religious campaigns against same-sex marriage, and the exponentially growing gap in power between the haves and the have-nots.
Lisbeth Salander is the symbol of all us little guys. She is tiny and almost sexless in appearance; and she dresses and behaves in ways that are intentionally deviant from much of modern society. She is an 'outlaw' and she is pissed off. Shes a computer hacker - itself an archetype for intelligent introversion anxious to deviate from societal norms. Lisbeth is immediately perceived as weak and powerless - a natural victim for oppressors ranging from street thugs, local police, State-appointed guardians, all the way to departments of the Swedish government itself.
