This book is the first study on Maarit Verronen, an award-winning Finnish contemporary author, whose career spans four decades and several genres. The study explores experiences of space in Verronen's writing, drawing from spatial studies, an interdisciplinary approach within the humanities. While providing a longitudinal section on Verronen's oeuvre, this study also contextualizes her works within Nordic and European literatures. The study offers new insights into contemporary literature's emphasis on space, spatiality and environmental issues and the genres of dystopia and fantasy. The book is intended for scholars of literature and spatial studies, as well as anyone interested in Finnish literature or speculative genres.
