TStael: Oooh - more drunk than I, I take it, eh Timppu? :-)
And I hope it bothers you that I still think Finns mostly are quite well educated, and with a certain humanity.
Plus feel no need to be cutesy about Harper Lee. I respected her art already when she was living. Her death changed none.
timppu: Does what could have for not what else, or? What say you, or slice what educated drunk or what say or?
Me Tarzan, you Jane.
Timppu, I think I can always take you playfully - and I do. So I am smiling, as I think you needs must to be able to write a coherent sentence then and again. What was it: "syövät kaikki kalat verkosta, ne karvaiset läskiperseet" or whatnot...
But please reflect on Aleksis Kivi, and Timo K. Mukka.
Both were assassinated living by critics that represented established good taste, yet are now accepted as Finnish Literature par excellence, and birth date of Kivi is a flag day of Finish literature in Finland. (pretty hypocritical)
Both could have created so much more. Assailant criticism had more to do with it than honest admiration, I find.
And let it be said: I pitch "Seitsemän veljestä" of Kivi at par with the old translation Finnish Bible - both total masterpieces!
