12 rounds - who'd win?
Lisbeth Salander or Smilla Jasperson?
no, i'm not really playing that game - and, anyway, of course they should both TEAM UP!
but - having just re-read and re-watched the books and films, i am struck again by the fact that nobody compares them or cites Hoeg as an influence. Why?
i thought both Smilla and The Quiet Girl were great books - and the Smilla dramatization is very underrated. (I've often joked that my ideal science-fiction novel would Smilla's Sense of Space) whilst Borderliners is one of the best books about Time (and school) that i've come across.
but in any case i'd be curious to know if Larsson ever expressed a view on Hoeg's works.
anyone else familiar with both?
