Loretta Napoleoni interviewed in The Star
November 3, 2011
“If there was a Chinese Spring, they’d probably elect the Communist Party. In general, they’re very satisfied with it. That’s hard to understand in the West, where we are constantly dissatisfied with government.”

Johan Harstad’s IFOA Questionnaire
October 25, 2011
“I can only say that Scandinavian literature seem to be more alive and kicking now than ever, which makes it a great time to be a writer in that region. There’s a strong will to explore, in many different directions, there are bold projects and great art being created all over, in both poetry, novels, short stories and essays, and we’ve seen a substantial rise in the number of titles translated to different languages, especially English.”

Interview with Johan Harstad in The Compulsive Reader
September 27, 2011
“[Matthias] says somewhere in the novel that it takes a lot of energy and strong will and guts be number one but it takes a gigantic heart to be second best. In many ways you can say that he’s very much afraid of what his life would be if he were to be number 1, at the top of the world, but at the same time he’s making a very difficult and very bold choice to stay in the background and decide to be second best, so to speak.”

Eva Gabrielsson interviewed in the New York Times
June 21, 2011
“I’ve been wondering if it’s such a good thing to finish something like that,” [Eva Gabrielsson] said on Monday. “Nobody needs any more money — that’s one thing. And it must be any author’s nightmare to know that characters you created might be used by ghostwriters. It’s a dilemma. I don’t think it’s right, but at the same time I really would like to see what happens to these people.” She paused. “How long are we going to kid ourselves? Stieg is dead. Maybe we just have to accept that — all the readers and me, too.”

#StiegandEva: Twitter interview with Eva Gabrielsson
June 14, 2011
Click here to ask Eva Gabrielsson a question on Twitter!
“There Are Things I Want You to Know” about Stieg Larsson and Me is a book about politics and love, about coffee and conversation, about writing and friendship, and about Stieg Larsson and Eva Gabrielsson, the woman who shared the Millennium Trilogy author’s life for thirty years.
In honor of the June 21 publication of the book, Seven Stories Press is offering readers of Eva and of Millennium the chance to ask Eva Gabrielsson the questions they’ve always wanted to ask about her life with Stieg, the Millennium trilogy’s genesis and its future, and her thoughts about the meaning of the life’s work she and Stieg shared: the work of their political commitment and action against fascism, political corruption, and the systematic oppression of women, work in which the Millennium books (originally titled “Men Who Hate Women” in Sweden) played only one small part.
Questions for Eva should be posted on Twitter using the hashtag #StiegandEva, (which will also be used to mark media coverage and event notices for the book.) Only questions posted before 11:59 PM on Monday, June 20 will be considered.
Eva Gabrielsson will then record a video response to her favorite of the questions, which will be released on June 28 in this space and across the Internet.
Thanks very much for those who choose to participate: now, what are the things you want to know about #StiegandEva?

Elizabeth Abbott interviewed on the changing institution of marriage
May 3, 2011
What are your thoughts about the future of the institution of marriage?
I think it has a really good future for fewer people. It’s becoming one option among several. . . . Gay people who wish to marry can do it, so that has reinforced the institution. It’s allowed a whole new excluded segment of the population into it as potential spouses. This reinforces marriage.
. . . And certainly the issue of gay marriage is treated differently. We sometimes hear arguments in the U.S. about marriage being about bearing children—you spoke earlier about the plunging birth rate—and this is offered as a reason to prevent gay marriages.
This argument also applies to older people. Should a menopausal woman be barred from marriage because she can’t have children? And gay people can have children. They can’t with each other but one of them can have a biological child or they can adopt. —Elizabeth Abbott, interviewed by University of Toronto

Barry Gifford interviewed by Time Out Chicago
January 7, 2011
“Across more than 40 vignettes, Gifford summons post–World War II Chicago through the eyes of Roy, a kid who exists along the seams of Chicago’s underworld . . . The tales in Sad Stories almost read as fables, sometimes not extending beyond just a few pages. In the title story, Roy helps his friend clean up at a strip joint near State and Congress in the pre-dawn hours. An aging stripper bumps into him as he’s taking out the trash, and warns him against becoming one of her clients. In “The Swedish Bakery,” one of Roy’s friends seeks help from a priest when his brother and another boy wrangle him into a conspiracy to knock off the bakery where he works. Some function as snapshots of the city, while others almost as aphorisms, when Roy is granted wisdom from the adults in his life.” - Jonathan Messinger, Time Out Chicago
