Laura Lindstedt (b. 1976) became a critical darling with her adoption-themed debut novel Scissors (Sakset, Teos 2007), which earned her a nomination for the Finlandia Prize, the country's most prestigious literary honour. She is currently revising her Ph.D. thesis on French author Nathalie Sarraute. Lindstedt's second novel Oneiron (Teos 2015) is a work of speculative fiction that takes place in the mysterious moments that follow one's death. Oneiron has continued Lindstedt's critical success, earning her the coveted 2015 Finlandia Prize.
