Literature The non-fiction was supposed to tell how Finland won the corona – but Lauri Nurmi’s book was canceled because the corona has not been won

Lauri Nurmi interviewed key government officials on how they will take Finland out of the pandemic in 2020. The book, which has already been postponed, has now been completely removed from the publisher’s publication plan.

In ad text the book was touted as historical and “unique in its authenticity”. It promised to tell what the leaders of the country have learned about people, leadership, and life during the Corona.

Monday’s Into cost, however informedthat Lauri Nurmen book How Finland decided to win the corona has been removed from the release plan. Completing the non-fiction book was too difficult due to the pandemic situation, the publishing house said.

An overly tenacious coronavirus defeated it in a winning report.

The book was originally due to be published in the spring of 2021, but was postponed as the pandemic continued. Grass and publisher Jaana Airaksinen consider that the last reasonable moment to publish the material would have been this spring.

“Due to the fact that the pandemic does not show an end, as a writer, I do not even find it meaningful to try to present any outcome,” Lauri Nurmi says on the phone.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t try to do it sometime later, in a few years.”

Making a book began in the corona year of 2020, when the situation looked very threatening.

Korona was presented as a collapsing world economy. At the same time, an army was demanded on the street and serious curfews were put out in Parliament.

“A sense of proportionality and a sense of justice were at stake,” Nurmi says.

Nurmi set out to build the book with the motto: Finland has survived even worse crises. He began to study how such a national “positive victory” would be constructed.

Government ministers include the Minister of Education Li Andersson (left), Minister of Foreign Affairs Pekka Haavisto (Green) and Minister of Justice Anna-Maja Henriksson (r) participated in the process “very openly.” Nurmi was able to spend time with them during the decision-making process.

Nurmi compared the authorities’ documents with these interviews and drew conclusions about the success of the interest rate decisions.

Default was that it would take much less time to overcome the crisis than it has now.

The publisher and author did not want to change the angle of the book. It would have been risky to publish a book on the end of the corona when the triumph of victory might have seemed outdated in a few months.

The decision was also based on commercial grounds. Coronation fatigue could have expelled book buyers.

“I’m not sure if readers want to read about the corona crisis these months,” says Nurmi.

According to Nurmi, his previous works had a “subscription” for readers, ie a great deal of interest in the subject.

In the evening newspaper Nurmi, who works as a political journalist, became a prominent social commentator when she made news about the disintegration of basic Finns in the spring of 2015. Nurmi’s written career began in 2017. In the history of the disintegration of basic Finns.

It appeared at Into’s expense, as did Nurmi’s three subsequent works. Matti Mörttinen with which he wrote works Sauli Niinistö – Mr. Mäntyniemi (2018) and Antti Rinne – the whole story (2019). Nurmi’s latest work was published in the autumn of 2020 Jussi Halla-aho – an unofficial biography.

Sales of the books have been higher than average on non-fiction books.

A book for Nurmelle cancellation is not a tragedy. He can return to the material later and now focus on new projects at Into Cost.

In Finland, there is too little current literature on the highest powers in Finland. He is now launching such books. He wants prose elements in them – such as the narration of events in the present tense – which he would like more in Finnish non-fiction in general.

Nurmi also has a long-term plan. The journalist of politics intends to write a prose work at some point.
