The Stranger

Excerpts from Finnish author Juha Ruusuvuori's A Stranger in Moominvalley (Muukalainen Muumilaaksossa, 2005) in my translation are now online at the Books From Finland website, in the latest issue of the magazine. There's also an essay on Ruusuvuori by Finland-Swedish critic Pia Ingström.

I wrote some comments on Ruusuvuori's pamphlet - on the complex theme of crossing from one Finnish culture to another - in a report from the Helsinki Book Fair last November.
