Laura Finska (b. 1996) has written two novels that blossom with metaphors and neuroses. She is known for the click of her heels and the distinctive roar of her narrative voice. Finska lives in Tampere with her partner, her young son, and their dog Mozart.

“Haittaako jos hengitän is an independent and bold novel about standing up for oneself and about the fear of childlessness.” - WSOY

Finska will be interviewed by editor Samuli Knuuti.

The event will be held in Finnish.
