Description

A book that welcomes us to the vodka belt of northern Sweden, a place far from anything imagined by Ingmar Bergman or the artist Carl Larsson. Here instead, through the killing cold and dark of the long winters and the harsh brightness of the brief summers, are a people set apart from the rest of Sweden, who speak a Finnish dialect, are silent, stalwart, wary, and very often drunk on "mash," the gut-rotting, brain-deadening alcohol made from potatoes. Matti's story, in Niemi's inimitable telling, describes a world that seems to have abandoned him, and yet where he can still come completely to life. Translated into English from the Swedish by Laurie Thompson.237p.
