Pekka Mäkelä Sari Peltoniemi Emmi Itäranta (Hear our Interview with her) Jyrki Vainonen Viivi Hyvönen Maarit Verronen Boris Hurtta The Summer Book by Tove Jansson is Maria’s recommendation for the first Finnish book a person should pick up. Memory of Water by Emmi Itäranta is Tero’s pick because it is a lyrical dystopia and beautiful and eligible for a Hugo this year. Comet in Moominland is Janos’s recommendation because the atmosphere of SF themes is very strong. Leena Krohn (anything by her) is Jukka’s recommendation because reading her books gives you a reward of knowing you have done something worth your while. Rare Exports is a new and Finnish take on Santa Claus that’s wonderful and heartwarming—ha no, it is a horror movie. Janos was involved in the making of The Iron Sky. Achtung, baby Finnishweird.net It Came From the North (Cheeky Frawg, anthology of Finnish stories) Archipelacon — mostly in English, taking place next August with Karin Tidbeck, George R. R.
