With sharp, vibrant images and compelling characterisations, this unique novel of intersecting stories considers what it means to be human, ethical, and true to one's self in a troubled world. Translated from the original Finnish, this intricate fantasy follows Hakan, a part human, part clone individual who appears in various guises, such as an ice cream vendor and a mysterious interlocutor. Enthralling and clever, this novel provides insight into the characteristics of the outsider, the trickster, and the sage while considering their power in the lives of others.
