Notes from an Island by Tove Jansson, Alexander Chee
English | October 22, 2024 | ISBN: 1643264796 | 128 pages | EPUB | 15 Mb
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.

In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki "Tooti" Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island's flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson's work, most famously in her bestselling novel The Summer Bookand her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, Moomin.Tove's signature spare, quirkyprose, and Tooti's subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island's ecology and character. Notes from an Islandis both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson's journal, with Tooti's sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.
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
"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
