Description

The Explorer and Other Stories showcases the quietly strange and unsettling short fiction of Finnish writer Jyrki Vainonen. Translated with clarity by J. Robert Tupasela, Anna Volmari, and Hilde Hawkins, this collection includes stories from three of Vainonen's previous collections.

Renowned for his translations of Seamus Heaney, Jonathan Swift, and William Shakespeare, Vainonen brings a unique voice to the world of short fiction. His work has been featured in notable collections such as the Dedalus Book of Finnish Fantasy.

This first English-language collection is introduced by Johanna Sinisalo, offering readers a glimpse into the dark and wondrous world that Vainonen creates with ease and subtlety.
