Tervetuloa readers,
This is our monthly discussion of the literature of the world! Twice a month, we'll post a new country for you to recommend literature from with the caveat that it must have been written by someone from that country (i.e. Shogun by James Clavell is a great book but wouldn't be included in Japanese literature).
January 13 was St Knut's Day and, to celebrate, we're discussing Finnish literature! Please use this thread to discuss your favorite Finnish books and authors.
If you'd like to read our previous discussions of the literature of the world please visit the literature of the world section of our wiki.
Also, we'd like to remind you that we're running a Best Books of 2024 contest which ends January 19. If you'd like to take part, you can find links to the various voting threads here.
Kiitos and enjoy!

Why is a post about Finnish literature called “Literature of Russia”?
White Hunger, Aki Ollikainen
The Unknown Soldier, Vaino Linna
People in the Summer Night, Frans Eemil Sillanpaa – this one was very hard to find; I read it as part of my pet project to read one book by every Nobel prize-winning writer.
By the way, I’m not sure if it’s just bugging out on my computer, but the title of this post seems to be “Literature of Russia”.
