The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna
Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
Just not enjoying this one.
The humor doesn't work for me. I also feel like I'm missing something because I'm not well versed in 1970s Finnish culture or politics, and I'm not interested enough in the story to do the research.
I was expecting more of a fun romp through the wilderness with a man and a hare, but that's not what I got from this. I wanted more about the hare and the wilderness, and way less of what is actually in here.
