A review by tessyoung
New Finnish Grammar by Diego Marani

4.0

I found this a little tough but worth sticking with. i like the language and the set up but it's a book to reflect on while reading. It was quite unsettling and disorientating but incredibly tough provoking. I wonder if I just don't know enough about linguistics but I often felt as displaced and uncertain as the main character. Then again maybe that was the point and the text works as a performative piece? I'm not sure but it's still making me think and had stayed with me a couple years after I read it.
