Notes from an Island Tove Jansson, Alexander Chee ebook
From a renowned artist and writer, a deeply personal nature journal about the island that informed her many works, with paintings from her longtime partner, artist Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä.
Praise for the essay, “The Island” “At once a short story, an essay, and a prose poem, ‘The Island’ reads both like a sketch for The Summer Book and a vignette of Klovharun ... the text seems to change following mysterious tides from a timeless present to an urgent past.” —Hernan Diaz, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize Praise for Tove Jansson "It could be said that everything she wrote is, in one way or another, about the creative interactions between art and reality or art and nature."—The Guardian "Her style is not at all 'poetic'—quite the contrary. It is prose of the very highest order; it is pure prose. Through its quiet clarity we see unreachable depths, threatening darkness, promised treasures."—Ursula K. LeGuin, The Guardian “Tove Jansson was a genius, a woman of profound wisdom and great artistry.”—Philip Pullman “It’s hard to describe the astonishing achievement of Jansson’s artistry.”—Ali Smith
