“Unfortunately, I am none of the Anu Partanens who have: translated foreign literature into Finnish; worked at the Etelä-Saimaa newspaper; taken part in the Pirkanmaa Writing Competition; been involved in the Arto Paasilinna Society (a crazy Finnish novelist); worked as the secretary of the Väinö Linna Society (a distinguished Finnish novelist); competed in the Suuri seikkailu (The Great Adventure) reality TV series or spent time in Ireland in 1996. If you are trying to find one of these Anu Partanens, I must with regret advise you to move along.

If, on the other hand, you happen to be the Anu Partanen who was some years ago standing in line in front of Vuorikatu 20, Helsinki for the entrance exams of the Faculty of Law at Helsinki University and who is originally from the Kerimäki area, Jukka is looking for you. Please send me a message, and I will forward your contact info to Jukka.”
