A review by madanburg
New Finnish Grammar by Judith Landry, Diego Marani

3.0

Tragicomic & interesting, but it suffered some from my high expectations. One central character (the priest) really couldn't hold my attention during his discursive monologues, which diffused the otherwise nice narrative tension between the amnesiac soldier and the doctor who attempted to return his identity to him. I've been meaning to read this for a while, and I'm glad I finally did, because I do love linguistic playtime, but it won't stick with me like I'd expected / hoped.
