KirjahetkiOpi kaksi Manhattan Beachin varjoa minuutissaMikko Porvali: Kadonneen kaupungin varjo (Atena 2018) Jennifer Egan: Manhattan Beach (Tammi 2018, suom. Helene Bützow) Inkeri Markkula: Kaksi ihmistä minuutissa (Gummerus 2016) Mark Vanhoenacker: Opi laskeutumaan lentokoneella (Gummerus 2018) Kadonneen kaupungin varjo on Karelia Noir -trilogian kolmas osa, lievästi puiseva sekoitus dekkaria ja poliisihistoriaa. Viipurin, poliisihistorian ja aikakauden 1920–1950 ystäville Karelia Noir -trilogia on suositeltavaa luettavaa, muille varauksella. Manhattan Beach on hieno kirjallinen lukuromaani, joka kuvaa kiinnostavasti 1940-luvun sotavuosien Brooklynia vahvan naispäähenkilön, gangsteritarinan ja kauppamerenkulun kautta. Kaksi ihmistä minuutissa kertoo eriarvoisuudesta parisuhteissa ja lapsen huoltajuuskysymyksissä sekä toisaalta sairauksissa. Miksi toisilla on malarian estolääkitys ja toisia kuolee kaksi ihmistä minuutissa? Opi...
