This is Stiegs story retold by his family. A curious, imaginative, meticulous journalist and writer bent on defending injustice and exposing fascism. A boy and man that used stories, in fiction and journalism, to manifest his convictions.

The Stieg Larsson Foundation has been formed by the Larsson Family to honor the memory of their son and brother, journalist and author Stieg Larsson whose work was characterized by a relentless struggle against injustice and inequality.

In memory of Stieg Larsson his original Swedish publisher Norstedts and Stiegs father and brother, Erland and Joakim Larsson, has instituted an annual award, given to a person or organization working in Stieg Larssons spirit.

“Stieg Larsson, our son and brother, journalist, anti racist and world famous author died at an early age. We’ve created the Stieg Larsson foundation to encourage others to carry on their work in Stiegs spirit.”  The Larsson Family, Umeå, January 2013
