Finlandia shortlist

       They've announced the shortlist for the (30th) Finlandia-palkinnon -- the leading Finnish book prize (and worth a decent €30,000).
       See, for example, the Books from Finland report -- and note that several of the finalists have already have books translated into English (Leena Krohn, Asko Sahlberg, and Kjell Westö) -- though the only one with a book under review at the complete review (Hannu Raittila, with Canal Grande) ... hasn't.
       The winner will be announced 3 December.
