Mark Munger is a Duluth storyteller who has participated in the Northwoods Art and Book Festival for over a decade. He keeps coming back because, well, folks who attend the festival like to read and like to buy his work!
His latest, Kotimaa: Homeland is part historical novel and part thriller set in Minnesota, Norway, and Finland. Kirkus Reviews had this to say about the final installment in Munger's Finnish American trilogy:
His attempts to grapple with current immigration issues, including Syrian refugees in Europe and the election of Donald Trump, make for a complex yet appropriate end to
a series that is essentially a long meditation on leaving home and building another life somewhere else. Fans of thoughtful, probing historical fiction should enjoy this final volume, which stands well enough on its own.
A detailed, wide-lens historical novel of Finnish-Americans then and now.
(Kirkus Review, November 2019.)
