I had the honour of receiving an invitation to a literary event at the Residence of the Ambassador of Finland Timo Rajakangas. This year, the special guest of this literary event was the well-known Finnish author Sofi Oksanen; she herself says that she is ”a Finnish-Estonian writer” because her father is Finnish and her mother Estonian. At the age of 38, Oksanen is considered to be in the elite of young Finnish authors. Her first novel, Stalinin lehmät (”Stalin's Cows”) was published in 2003. All in all, she has published four novels and two plays; a new novel will be published this autumn. Her most famous work started with a play that later turned into a full novel, Puhdistus (”Purge”), which was published in 2008, and it was made into a film in 2012 as well. Oksanen has won many awards, both in Finland and internationally. Puhdistus has also been translated into more than 40 languages, including Croatian (”Čišćenje”). In her works, Oksanen has written about themes such as the bloody history of Estonia in the 20th century and the role of women both in history and today; this can be seen for example in Stalinin lehmät, where eating disorder is the main theme. There is often a female perspective in her books, and the author herself is a feminist.
