The centennial will be celebrated in 2010. During the last decades the popularity of the genre has grown steadily and now about 40 to 50 crime novels are published annually. Most are written in Finnish by Finns, but a few novels are written in Swedish by Finnish authors. Swedish is also an official language of the country. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mysteryreaders.org/Issues/Scandinavian.html"><P>One of the most popular and best-known of contemporary Finnish crime writers is Matti Joensuu, who is also internationally well known. Leena Lehtolainen is a close second. Joensuu has won the Finnish annual crime fiction award, The Clue of the Year, three times, and he has twice been nominated for the Finlandia prize, which is the biggest literature prize in Finland. Joensuu is the only crime writer ever to be nominated for this prize.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7BC464D5-F29D-47BC-AEF1-03632306D3BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
