- A SPELLBINDING DEBUT FROM AN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: A talented journalist by training, Juhani Karila has made himself known as a prose writer to watch with his first collection of short stories, Gorilla (2013) which took second place in the Helsingin Sanomat Prize and Fishing For the Little Pike which was the winner of the Jarkko Laine Literature Prize.
