«Il mugnaio urlante» is the novel by Finnish writer Arto Paasilinna, published by Iperborea in paperback (276 pages, in Italian).
Gunnar Huttunen, an eccentric man, arrives in a village in northern Finland and sets an old mill in motion. His nightly howls disturb the neighborhood, which plots to lock him up in an asylum. With other outcasts, he flees to the forest and defends his freedom; a satire of intolerance and a hymn to individuality.
Novel originally published in Finnish as «Ulvova mylläri» in 1981, translated into Italian by Ernesto Boella and introduced by Fabrizio Carbone. It belongs to the «Gli Iperborei» collection (no. 66).
For readers of social satire and Finnish fiction with eccentric characters and humor.
