I read that WSJ article, and sytpamhise with the dilemma on both sides how to market fiction in the US which is not written by a US author always a tough one! especially for translated; with how to avoid the author concerned being stereotyped. I can understand why the publisher wants to associate a Scandinavian crime author with S Larsson given the latters phenomenal success in the US when you compare earlier, better ? authors such as Asa Larsson, Karin Altvegen etc, they have not done so well on their own . But of course, as you say, Nesbo is no more like Stieg Larsson than Michael Connelly or Robert Crais are.Tough one. Jo Nesbo is not my favourite crime fiction author though I think his character of Harry Hole is superb and hes very good on location and atmosphere. I think his plots are overblown and don stand up though they are amazingly and fascinatingly inticrate and and I hate the fact that he likes to dwell on the details of ritualised violence and torture. <<< menej
