Book review|In Eino Taina’s debut work, a tram goes from Käpylä towards the center and adulthood like Charon’s ferry in mythology.
Novel
Eino Taina: It will expand. Key. 378 pp.
Ingredients are together as a generational novel. Eino Tainan (b. 2001) debut work It expands offers a grip, especially for the group raised by movies, pop music and the content that seems like a sudden slush on the internet.
A more timeless dimension can be found in the novel’s torment of a boy living his high school year in the crucible of the basic question of existence: am I significant or insignificant?
The philosophizing young man still lives in his childhood home, but he is already getting into prisons. The circle of life and consciousness are expanding rapidly. At the hinge point of growing up, everything is magnificently open, but so are the chasms of anxiety.
The consciousness center of Eino Taina’s work refines each of its thoughts to the very last thread, all the way to the finish rather Miki Liukkonen of fluctuating prose like Harri Sirolan plot novel High school student (1980) in spirit.
To promise the author of the debut is Vesa from a cultural family from Helsinki. So in the piece, you walk the streets of Käpylä and sit on Taivaskallio. The mother of the main character writes books, and the father makes book covers, just like Eino Taina’s own parents.
However, the question of autobiography becomes irrelevant, which tells about the level of the work.
What is essential is the feeling of life described in an almost burning heat. Everything possible can be used as an ingredient for that mess. For example, like this:
“The coolness of the early evening, a mild atmosphere like melted cheese in the oven crept into the room, making me feel carefree and passive, as if I had just eaten a heavy meal. It was dusk outside, but not yet dark, let alone dark. The sky was the same blue as the Tiny Vipers Hands Across the Void – on the cover of the album. It was so calm that I could feel my breath. Sometimes it was heard duip, duip, duipwhen water hit the drip tray as drops from the rain.”
I guess so It expands will find readers for a long time to come. Of those young people, and why not parents too, who appreciate uncompromising individuality, not constant entertainment. In this work, anella does not ask for permission to throw herself into the heavy and boring.
I admit that the text editor in me often needed scissors. At the same time, however, I would have cut off youth and sincerity.
Of course the main character, a chick testing the carrying capacity of his own wings, seeks romantic love. Of touch.
It would ward off the worst of fears: loneliness.
“
Orgasm, or something like it, resides in the brain.
However, the most effective repellent would seem to be friendship. It is descriptive that It expands often immerses himself in the conversations between soul brothers with a side note, while barely mentioning the quivering groping of the flesh.
Orgasm, or something like it, resides in the brain.
Thus, in the middle of the purposelessness of everyday life, our main character finds his happiness in a guy who fulfills the external characteristics of a classic idle reporter, but whose inner reaches for both a “reasonable person” and an “unpredictable being”.
In other words, a “own-law” companion.
Can you live in harmony with yourself if the other person tries to leave this world? Is it the case that all talking and discussing is pointless?
“Communication, as it was known, was a deviant path of evolution, a wrong move,” the young man lamented after getting into bed with a runaway girl. “It was too sophisticated, too self-aware and too complicated.”
But suddenly that moment is over.
From Kapyl towards the city center and adulthood, a tram runs like Charon’s ferry in mythology. Awareness of death is part of expansion.
Depression is always lurking, and turning into an adult who canes walk away from his emptiness is not worth the money. Routines appear in the eyes of a young person as premature death.
As the story goes, on the ferry the seeker meets the seer – not antiquity, after all Sophocles according to the model, in the figure of a blind man but a modern-day spurgu. Naturally, you will also meet him at the end.
And, of course, the prophecy has come true in the meantime, the metaphysics skunk learned on his odyssey that alone no one is anything.
Just this is how the story about the importance of being seen, heard and understood had to be put into words this time.
I believe that we will hear from Eino Taina in the future as well.
