I know there are some Linkola fans here, so have any of you heard about him publishing an autobiography this year? Any idea if there are publishers interested in doing an English translation? Any Finns picked it up?

biography* not autobiography

Probably not. I've read Can Live Prevail in English but I think even that was published by a small publisher who usually published far-right stuff.

It was a pretty disappointing book overall, it read like a grumpy old guy angry that someone cut down a tree in his garden. He ignores statistics, preferring to reference several times the journeys he made over a decade ago across Finland by skis when talking about deforestation. There's a whole essay on why cats should be massacred because they're fucking up birds and fauna. He argues that supermarkets suck because expiration dates for fish aren't correct, and talks again about he knows this because he worked as a fisherman and used to take the fish to market via bicycle. Maybe he has written more substantial stuff elsewhere, but the stuff I read was like hollow yet entertaining propaganda. He talks about overpopulation for example but uses no statistics. Fair enough if he's talking about general trends or inevitabilities, but it's hard to engage when there's no proof there.

i doubt this will be translated

I didn't think Can Life Prevail was particularly good either. Read like the rantings of a curmudgeonly old man more than anything, but I find him interesting as a person in the sense that he is so single-mindedly committed to living the lifestyle that he espouses. I think his life is probably more interesting than anything he's actually written.

I figure it's a long shot for it to be translated, but maybe some weird little press will pick it up the way one did for Can Life Prevail (and then try and put a fascist spin on it lol).

This saddly. Any Finns here who could translate it?

He's right about all of that stuff, though.
