Favorite quote: “If you write to me, don’t use your antediluvian fountain pen; it makes your handwriting impossible to read and moreover it’s hopelessly old-fashioned. Make them get you felt pen, medium point 0.5 mm. They have them everywhere.

Yours, Klara

From the publisher: Klara, elderly yet acute, dispenses wisdom in terse letters; a young girl paints a mural on a hidden wall of a woodshed; an art student uses a scholarship abroad to obsessively explore the landscapes of home; five middle-aged women attempt to rekindle a schoolgirl camaraderie. Letters from Klara is a collection where quiet revelations unfold and subtle transformations occur. Translated into English for the first time, Tove Jansson”s spare, disquieting yet light -footed tales prove once again her mastery of the short story form.
