Description
"There has never been a more eccentric individual born on this vast planet than my father." ***** Joonatan receives an urgent phone call: Grandma is in her final battle. The young man grabs his father's military helmet, hops in the car, and heads to Helsinki. Grandma thinks her son Mikko has come, but Joonatan reminds her that Mikko has been dead for a long time and asks if she can recall anything good about her deceased mentally ill son – a typical representative of the 'starving artist.' Grandma is reluctant to reminisce, so Joonatan decides to trace the footsteps of the past into his and his father's childhood and write his own story: the result is a carnival-colored, life-filled tragicomic autofiction full of distinctive characters, harsh life experiences caused by his father's uncontrollable mental illness, but also an unprecedentedly politically incorrect dark humor that will embed itself under the reader's skin. ***** Joonatan Tola's debut about a schizophrenic father is a literary jolt of electricity straight to the brain.
