Das Jahr des Hasen

His work bores him, his marriage has been a torment for years - journalist Vatanen drags himself from one day to the next. Until, on his way home from one of his usual dull press events, a young hare hops in front of his car, turning Vatanen's once neatly ordered life into an adventure that takes him across Finland. A wonderfully told novel in the best Paasilinna style, both dead serious and hilariously funny at the same time.
