The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I read an in-depth article in The Atlantic today about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. As many of you know, the author, Steig Larsson, died shortly after submitting the three manuscripts. What you may not know is that to preserve the integrity of Larsson's original writing, Random House chose not to edit any of his work. However, Random House CEO Markus Dohle told The Atlantic that they had to make one slight change to the title. According to Dohle, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", was originally called, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on her Ass."

True story.
