Troijan Norma Jeane Baker - julkistamistilaisuus
Launch event for the latest Finnish translation of Nobel laureate Anne Carson's *Norma Jeane Baker of Troy* at Teatteri Takomo. *Norma Jeane Baker of Troy* is a reminder of Anne Carson's ability to create new forms of literature. It is based on Euripides' play *Helen*, in which the mythical character is intertwined with the tragedy of her pop-culture counterpart, Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Baker). Carson alters the play's atmosphere with short essays on the cultural history of war and power structures. Through these, the work drifts into the dark currents that beauty creates in its witnesses and its subjects. The book has been translated by Tommi Nuopponen and published by Osuuskunta Poesia. Teatteri Takomo, November 14, 2026, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM. Free admission, the event is in Finnish.
