Marisha Rasi-Koskinen is on tour in France to celebrate the French edition of her latest novel REC, published by Payot & Rivages.
Great news from our author Marisha Rasi-Koskinen: she is currently on tour in France to celebrate the French edition of REC, her latest novel, published in France by Payot & Rivages.
Rasi-Koskinen will be attending literature-focused events organised by FILI and the Finnish embassy in France. With her are fellow Finnish authors Pajtim Statovci and Maria Turtschaninoff, also presenting their work.
Rasi-Koskinen’s REC is a big novel about friendship and love, power and boundlessness, a travel book and a documentary, a fiction about fiction where stories and reality constantly take on new angles in new hands. In REC, we follow Lucas A, an ordinary boy with an ordinary life until he becomes special. It happens when everything begins for the first time, and everything begins when he meets Cole. Many beginnings and endings later, Lucas travels for the first time to the city where his story began. Someone is dead, someone has vanished, and Lucas travels to find answers, of course, but it doesn’t work like that. He finds new questions, his story connects with other stories.
REC has been awarded the Runeberg Prize and it also traveled to Denmark, where it is published by Jensen & Dalgaard.
Best of luck to Marisha on her tour, and don’t miss out on this title!
