Krátky popis
'Playful and profound... a captivating glimpse into
twentieth-century Finland through the eyes of a charismatic child
narrator. I loved it' Fiona MozleyIn this charming patchwork of
fever dreams and memories, Pirkko Saisio transports us to the 1950s
Finland of her youth, where she navigates life as an only child of
communist parents.Convinced she will grow up to become a man, a
young Pirkko keeps trying and failing to meet the expectations of
the adults around her. But as she discovers that she can be the
narrator of her own story, it is in language that she finds a
refuge and a way to be seen at last. In a world where
mascara-streaked mermaids dodge tennis balls, a beloved green cap
is stolen by the Big Bad Wolf, and the first tugs of infatuation
are inspired by a swimsuit-clad circus announcer, Saisio captures
the heart-wrenching intensity of childhood as it floods back in the
wake of her father’s death.Deeply moving and disarmingly funny,
Lowest Common Denominator is the first volume in a trilogy that has
been celebrated in Finland as the best work of the century.
