Heikki Turunen

Heikki Anton Turunen (born 9 December 1945) is a Finnish author[1] who lives in Joensuu.

Heikki Turunen (2009)

He was born in Pielisjärvi, North Karelia, and grew up with his six sisters in a farming family. In 1964 he got a job as a journalist at Karjalan Maa newspaper in Joensuu. He kept this job until 1974, in the last year, as editor.

Turunen's writing deals with Finland in the time in which he grew up, before urbanisation, industrialisation, and tenant farmers. He often describes characters who are a little unusual. Many of his books have been filmed.

gollark: > if one is going to be an overlord it's important to be regarded as an evil overlord because then when you want to enact policy that has immediate costs and long-term benefits, instead of having to tediously, endlessly justify why it's good you can just be like "[REDACTED] you i'm evil"Does this explain LyricLy?
