A bizarre little read: part meditation, part wacky (slow motion) adventure.

Vatanen gaat er vandoor, achter een haas aan die hij enkele ogenblikken eerder zelf had aangereden. Het begin van een gek avontuur. Finse absurde humor, veel bos, veel sneeuw, en veel gedoe om een beer. Heb je even een 'tussendoortje' nodig? The year of the hare kan je vast entertainen. Enjoy!

It was a slog with a couple of interesting moments and a new word learned- the only reason for the stars.

Mildly humorous, not so deep. Interesting portrayal of life in Finnish nature. Didn’t realize it was from the 1970s until after I finished it
