A New York Review Books Original
Winner of the 2009 Bernard Shaw Prize for Translation
"Fair Play" is the type of love story that is rarely told, a
revelatory depiction of contentment, hard-won and
exhilarating.
Mari is a writer and Jonna is an artist, and they live at opposite
ends of a big apartment building, their studios connected by a long
attic passageway. They have argued, worked, and laughed together
for decades. Yet they've never really stopped taking each other by
surprise. "Fair Play "shows us Mari and Jona's intertwined lives as
they watch Fassbinder films and Westerns, critique each other's
work, spend time on a solitary island (recognizable to readers of
Jansson's "The Summer Book"), travel through the American
Southwest, and turn life into nothing less than art.
