Tainaron: Mail from Another City by Leena Krohn

Strange, Ethereal, AND Introspective

This collection of letters/chapters made me feel like an explorer in the fictional world and in my own world. It made me think about myself and the people around me as if we were all insects collecting sensory information through antennae and communicating with pheromones instead of by using eyes and words. A wonderful, accessible read for anyone looking for a good story.

Sain tämän joululahjaksi anopilta, jolle annoimme kumppanin kanssa Kazuo Ishiguron ”Klara ja aurinko”-romaanin. Pääsin siis vaihtamaan hyvän kirjan toiseen hyvään kirjaan! Kiva aloittaa vuosi näin.

Krohnin tapa kirjoittaa on todella lyyrinen ja rönsyilevä, mutta hänen kuvaamansa hahmot ja ympäristöt rakentuvat silti hyvin konkreettisiksi ja aidoiksi lukiessani. Kirjan kuvituksena olevat grafiikan vedokset ovat täydellinen lisä luomaan tunnelmaa ja kuvaamaan tainaronilaisia heidän hyönteismäisessä loistossaan.
