Hotel Sapiens (Hotel Sapiens, Teos 2013)

Leena Krohn has been active since the 1970s, and has since become one of Finland’s most legendary authors, whose writing forms an impressive body of work. Her sly humor and lucid language speak of our existence in very strange realms with courage and intelligence. One of the greatest visionaries in Finnish literature, Krohn’s works have been translated to over 20 languages.

In Hotel Sapiens we follow a group of people who are staying at the hotel, except Hotel Sapiens is also a madhouse, a research station, a training camp and a museum. The guests are kept under observation as carriers of a dire and incurable disease, humanity.

Hotel Sapiens will be published in Estonian as part of Loomingu Raamatukogu, which started its activity in 1957, and publish about 20 paperback books per year. Loomingu Raamatukogu focuses on quality literature from various eras and corners of the world.
