This summer I got puzzled by the popularity of Scandinavian noir in Italy. So, after Nesbø, I have been reading the millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson. I loved Lisbeth Salander!
But I am still puzzled…Why people who live in such a quiet part of the world write stories that are so dark and violent? I am not sure the dark and long winter nights are enough to explain. On the other side, why Italians love scandinavian noir so much? I feel it is so far (landscapes, culture, atmosphere…)
