SUMMARY:THE RED BOOK OF FAREWELLS BY PIRKKO SAISIO
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On October 10\, translator Mia Spangenberg joins us for a special talk on The Red Book of Farewells by Finnish author Pirkko Saisio\, out now from Two Lines Press. \nPirkko Saisio’s autofictional novel\, in Mia Spangenberg’s tender translation\, is a mesmerizing account of radical politics and sexual awakening in a series of farewells — to her mother\, to the idealism of youth\, to friends and lovers\, and finally to her grown daughter. The novel embeds readers in a delirious Finland\, where art and communist politics are hopelessly intertwined\, and where queer love (still criminalized before 1971) thrives in underground bars. But then one morning in 2002\, on a remote island off the coast of Finland\, the narrator Pirkko Saisio informs her publisher that she’s accidentally deleted her latest manuscript\, The Red Book of Farewells. \nPlayful and mysterious\, and winner of the Finlandia Prize and Aleksis Kivi Prize\, The Red Book of Farewells is a work that stoically embraces the small revolutions of moving on. \nThe event will be attended by special guest and translator Mia Spangenberg. \nRegister
