Ruumiin ylittävä ääni
Esseitä kiusaamisen jäljistä Rohkean esikoiskirjailijan tarkkanäköinen, vimmainen teos näyttää taiteen parantavan voiman. ”Minä vihaan tätä rakennelmaa, joka myrkyttää meidät.” Tuomas Aitonurmi sylkee suustaan sanoja, joiden takana on syvä henkilökohtainen trauma. Hän kirjoittaa suoraan sitä kohti. Näin syntyy väkevän omakohtaisia esseitä kiusaamisesta, homoudesta ja maskuliinisuudesta. Ruumiin ylittävä ääni -kokoelmassa taidetta käsittelevät tutkielmaesseet vuorottelevat elämäkerrallisen kerronnan kanssa. Videotaiteesta, musiikista ja kirjallisuudesta Aitonurmi löytää korjaavia kokemuksia. Tuomas Aitonurmi (s. 1988) on raumalaislähtöinen, Helsingissä asuva kirjastoalan ammattilainen, joka on opiskellut kirjoittamista muun muassa Kriittisessä korkeakoulussa. Ruumiin ylittävä ääni on hänen esikoisteoksensa.
American Originality
The probing essays collected in American Originality scrutinise the terms we use to think about recent American poetry, its antecedents (not just Whitman and Dickinson but Ovid, Rilke, Thomas Mann, Keats) and its future, questioning how we distinguish between work that is unique and work that is original, carefully delineating the allure of both 'shared traditions' and 'the cult of illogic'. Attentive always to risk and danger, Louise Glück illuminates how the poet at work moves between panic and gratitude, agony and resolution. Essays on specific writers and on the larger themes of American literature introduce the terms by which she reads and celebrates ten younger poets whose work she has advocated. Studded with brilliant insights into her own practice and the work of her contemporaries, this is an essential book for any interested reader of new poetry.
Land of Snow and Ashes
A hauntingly beautiful, gripping novel about Lapland's buried history of Nazi crimes against the Sámi people 'Reveals so much more about a war we thought we knew that it feels like a potted epic' Guardian This is a story of silenced histories, of dark secrets in a land of midnight sun. Finnish Lapland, 1947: Inkeri arrives in remote Enontekiö on a journalistic assignment, but her real motivation is more personal - this is where her husband was last seen before he disappeared during the war. As her probing questions meet with silence and hostility, Inkeri begins to investigate the fault-lines in this small community. Her burgeoning friendship with a young Sámi girl helps her piece together why the town does not want to dwell on the past, as traces of disturbing crimes emerge from the pristine landscape of snow and ice.
The Core of the Sun
The Finnish author of Troll: A Love Story delivers a work of “scathing satire . . . that sits somewhere between Margaret Atwood and Kurt Vonnegut” (NPR). The Core of the Sun further cements Finlandia Award–winning author Johanna Sinisalo’s reputation as a master of literary speculative fiction and of her country’s unique take on it, dubbed “Finnish weird.” In an alternative historical present, The Eusistocratic Republic of Finland has bred a new human sub-species of receptive, submissive women, called eloi, for sex and procreation, while intelligent, independent women are relegated to menial labor and sterilized so that they do not carry on their “defective” line. Vanna, ra...
Oneiron
‘This book is stunning, phenomenal, wow.’ Cecelia Ahern, author of P.S. I Love You WINNER OF THE FINLANDIA PRIZE Seven women meet in a white, undefined space seconds after their deaths Time, as we understand it, has ceased to exist, and all bodily sensations have disappeared. None of the women can remember what happened to them, where they are, or how they got there. They don’t know each other. In turn they try to remember, to piece together the fragments of their lives, their identities, their lost loves, and to pinpoint the moment they left their former lives behind. Deftly playing with genres from essay to poetry, Oneiron is an astonishing work that explores the question of what follows death and delves deep into the lives and experiences of seven unforgettable women.
The Reddest Rose
