Thank you for your answer, but to be honest I find all of this somewhat ridiculous.
I agree that perhaps my text was too flattering having mentioned words such as "success", but then how do you measure success? Can a Wikipedia article claim Mozart was a success when he died penniless? I would say Mozart was a success and some would agree and some would not. Do you mean only the author of a book knows what success is and the rest of us have no clue? My grandfather built his own business from nothing. I would call that being somewhat successful and I don't think that's just my opinion.
You're also saying that my mother is not the best resource. You're claiming a better resource would be a book or an article? But where do you think this so-called "more reliable resource" received it's information about Arne Norell from? My mother and the people who knew him of course. My grandfather is for example mentioned in the Swedish National Encyclopedia. I can email you a photo of the encyclopedia and the article since I'm holding it my hand as I'm typing. They made an interview with my mother to write that article, and you're saying the article is more reliable than my mother who lived close to Arne Norell for all her young life? Went on trips together with him, talked with him and knew exactly what inspired him?
I'm also holding his award in my own hands and would love to send you a photo. Could we please continue this nonsense via email instead of out in the open?
I'm happy to remove everything I've written about his "success" and so on. I know you think you are making everyone a favor, but you have made me very sad today. I'm only a grandchild wanting to carry on my grandfather's legacy in the best way. And I don't see why you people seem to enjoy making that work more difficult?
