Guest of the book fair
This Finish author debuted with the dystopian novel Memory of Water (Teemestarin kirja, 2012, Czech 2014), which was nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award and the Arthur C. Clarke Award, translated into more than twenty languages and successfully made into a film. The story, with its distinctly lyrical tone and environmental message, is set in a distant post-apocalyptic future where the world suffers from chronic water shortages. The second novel, The City of Woven Streets (Kudottujen kujien kaupunki, 2015), is set on a fictional sinking island under the rule of a tyrannical council. For her third and most recent novel, The Moonday Letters (Kuunpäivän kirjeet, 2020), she received the Tähtivaeltaja Award in 2021, given to the best science fiction book of the year published in Finnish. Itäranta also has a short story published in Czech in the anthology Finská čítanka [Finnish Reading Book, 2018].
