"I wish this part of me didn't exist." "Which part?" "The part that includes you." "Why?" "Nothing hurts more than the memories that were at one point, the most beautiful"(Quotes from The Summer of Oh Nine). This contemporary fairy tale depicts the complex diagnoses of both Borderline Personality Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. With characters inspired by the emotions within us all, this allegory enables you to begin to see your own life, love and past reflecting off every page for none of the characters are genetically linked by ethnicities. For example, the main character, 19 2, is dark brown, his biological parents are blonde and his grandmother is pale with straight black hair and eyes with epicanthal folds. So relax during your read as layers of insecurity proudly begin to fall off and disappear in each chapter of The Summer of Oh Nine.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) was a true homo universalis, a Renaissance man best known as a painter, but also an important figure in graphic art and an illustrator, and who designed his own live/work studios, furniture and soft furnishings. Over the course of his fin de siecle career, Gallen-Kallela progressed from realistic naturalism towards symbolism and linearity, progress particularly marked in his painted illustrations of the Scandinavian epic the Kalevala, and in sensitive portraits of subjects including Edvard Munch, Maxim Gorky and his friend Jean Sibelius. This long-overdue survey of his work appears on the 75th anniversary of his death, and on the occasion of the Holland Groninger Museum's full-scale retrospective, the first to bring such a large selection of Gallen-Kallela's work out of Scandinavia--and to the world.
