Tuomainen, The Moose Paradox

Roman - The No. 1 from Finland
By Antti Tuomainen
Translated from Finnish by Niina Katariina Wagner and Jan Costin Wagner

336 pages. Paperback. 17 x 21 cm.

Tuomainen's novels are like Aki Kaurismäki's films: exciting, tragic, humorous and strange.

Actuary Henri Koskinen has just gotten his life and the adventure park he inherited back in order when a man from his past appears and turns everything upside down. And that's just one of Henri's problems. Why won't the Finnish Games Inc. deliver the promised moose jump, even though he desperately needs a new attraction for the park? And with his relationship with Laura becoming increasingly complicated, Henri is faced with a reckoning with far too many unknowns.
