leftist dogshit

he's a fucking hack

I think Sweden is too nice of a country to produce any sort of interesting art.

Cover makes me want to go out and rape... Hmmm.

pulp thriller writer du jour

If he's so good, how come he's dead?

I read the first book, and started the second.

Race mixing. Race mixing everywhere.

Put it down in disgust.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

I watched the movies, not ever going to bother with the books. They were entertaining but still very bad. I lost it when the mary sue self insert main character figured out that since all of the women murdered had names from the Bible it must mean they were jews. How lucky we are that Adolf never found out about that or there would hardly be anyone left in Europe at all.

He was literally a hard left commie, so no surprise he pushes leftist degeneracy all throughout his books.

I wouldn't touch them at all, they aren't even worth burning.

They're entertaining, all three of them are page-turners, but that's all. They're ok to read when you're bored.

Also, the author was a leftist swedish journalist who edited a liberal magazine and campaigned for women's rights. The main character of the books is a leftist swedish journalist who edits a liberal magazine and campaigns for women's rights, and is irresistible to all women, ever.

well, I'm trans, but I'm kind of a Nationalistic Social Democrat o_O

The obvious propaganda doesn't completely spoil them, because they're mainly action/mystery books. If you skip the political bullshit, they're enjoyable. Borrow them, read then once and forget about them forever.

>I'm trans
You mean you castrated yourself and parade around as a woman now?

Did /pol/ invade us or something? I'm not complaining, though, they apparently have good tastes.

>>2454739
We're all /pol/ nao.

>>2454739
Sounds more like /b/ to me.

Anyway, I don't remember any important character not being white. Unless you consider swedish-german to be race mixing.

>>2454744
At the start of the second book, where she's on the hurricane island, the kid she fucks is black and lives in a shack.

Wasn't aware /lit/ had a nazi contingent. Makes sense really, since most literature champions intolerance and weakness crushing.

>>2454746
Oh, the horror.

Wow, I'm not OP. That was from the nihilism thread. Whoops.

>>2454748
The concepts of race and pride in it is laughable.

>>2454752
Also, *are.

To contribute, I made it about a third of the monotonous, minutia-obsessed way through the first book in the trilogy before serious literature called me back. Why should I read Larsson when I haven't finished Catch-22 yet?

I'll see myself out.

Interesting societies are more likely to produce interesting people who produce interesting works. Sweden is bland and homogeneous, which is actually makes their country really great, high literacy rates, very little poverty, very little crime.

>>2454758
>sweden
>homogenous
lol

Not anymore.
Any it is the homogenous, prosperous societies which can produce the best art/culture.

"To eliminate this degeneracy, it may be necessary to eliminate the Blacks, the Jews, the Gypsy, but it is hardly advisable to stop there: the problem may be endemic to mankind, or perhaps to life itself."

Hilarious. But entirely irrelevant to the post you quoted. I do hope you were kidding.

ITT: People trying to have rational arguments with people who use the expression "race mixing".

>>2454758
Most writers of the past seemed to have come from "nice" backgrounds though.. I remember Russia during the soviet times produced quite an amount of interesting art but ever since Yeltsin sold it to the jews it has produced nothing but cheesy and low budget imitations of American culture. And most of Russias old writers seemed to be foreigners by blood and cultural influence.

That snow globe you live in must be comfy.

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

I don't know about times of war and peace, but saying Sweden has no artistic accomplishments is absurd. Their "great movies/population" ratio is through the roof.

Swede here.

The books are an accurate manifestation of Swedish political correctness veiled in progressive journalism; It is a leftist circle-jerk gone viral.

Prosperity, "niceness", maybe we're muddling terms here. This is not a question of whether or not a state has money. Look at history and see where great art comes from. During or after great periods of turbulence. If not in a society then that turbulence must manifest in the artist himself. There must be passion and intoxication or else you get banality.

I picked up some of Strindberg's plays not too long ago, let's put this Swedish banality theory to the test.

First movie was good, the second was still pretty decent, third was absolute twaddle.

I see no reason to bother with the books

Godwin's law!

Seriously though, am I right or what?
