Autorenporträt
Kyro, Tuomas
Tuomas Kyro (b. 1974) is one of the most versatile, prolific and acclaimed Finnish authors of his generation. His talents were first showcased in his debut novel, 'Leather Jacket', and he rose to prominence in his home country with his novel 'Union'. Kyro draws on a long tradition of Finnish prose to tell compelling stories with great authority.
Rezensionen
Kyro pokes fun at the powerful and powerless, freedom and oppression, charity and greed, technology and tradition, obscurity and celebrity, Finns and non-Finns, appealing to readers with irreverence throughout. By intermingling caricature, commentary, and comedy, Kyro concocts a cynical and hilarious world that informs one man's journey in search of a simple life of modest comfort and decent values.'
