Title: Notes from an Island Author: Tove Jansson, Alexander Chee - introduction Narrator: Orlagh Cassidy Format: mp3 Length: 2 hrs Release date: 10-22-24 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Diaries & Correspondence Publisher's Summary: In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island's flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson's work, most famously in her novel The Summer Book and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, Moomin.
