Aurinkokaupunki (Sun City) is one of Tove Jansson’s lesser-known adult novels. At the Butler Arms guest house in the perfectly quiet town of St. Petersburg, Florida, some retirees live a science fiction-like existence together. Their story is about growing old, but even more so about the importance of first becoming yourself. The novel is also a satire on America and how it treats old people.
Text in Finnish. 211 pp. Former owners Ex Libris (and some number) inside the front cover, slight yellowing on the dust jacket. Overall nice condition.
"People are so peculiar, and getting older doesn’t make them any better. -Tove Jansson"
