Finnish author Miki Liukkonen, considered one of the brightest stars of Finland's literary scene, has died aged 33, his publisher said Wednesday. In a statement, his publisher WSOY did not specify a cause of death.
Contacted by AFP, the publisher said it had no more details to share for the time being, adding that the writer's family "requests privacy".
Despite his young age, Liukkonen had already produced three poetry collections, a picture book for adults, and five novels. His works have garnered critical praise and received several awards and nominations.

He’s finished.

He’s like the Herman Munster of Oscar Wildes I tell ya!
Looks rather Goth in that pic...
Finnish Sprockets?
Looks like the art majors I saw every time I parked my motorcycle by the campus McDonald’s.
Gives off a troubled vibe. Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord ...
“Finnish Sprockets?”
Thank you! Instantly thought of Dieter when I saw the snaps of this assclown. He certainly has that “before we begin, would you like to touch my monkey?” vibe about him. Or...at least he did. ;)
