This is John Irving, author of one of my favourite books, "The Hotel New Hampshire". The Finn happened to notice that he was going to be making the rounds. We caught him at Akateeminen kirjakauppa. In his new book, "Until I Find You", his character goes through Finland. He talked about his grandfather who played women's roles during WWII. I don't think the interviewer who is the Finnish translator actually translated this to audience. He apparently based the main character Jack on some aspects of his grandfather. He talked about how there are more photos of his grandfather in drag than in men's clothing. He was really great and their were tons of people there.
