I'm also from a fenno-swede community so I really don't know anything about Finnish authors, any fellow Finns that care to give me tips on good/wortwhile Finnish novels?

If it doesn't have to be contemporary, Alastalon Salissa by Volter Kilpi is the In Search of Lost Time and Ulysses of Finland.

Do you know if there is a translation into either english or swedish? And do you think that translations of his work would still make sense to read?

How come Scandinavian writers get published so young?

Every author in this thread was published before their 27th birthday.

Probably this, also a lot of these authors have been involved in so called culture circles from a very young age

Read Waltari. Ingore everything else, unless you want to read about poor people being poor and mistreated.
