Selja Ahava


Born
in Helsinki, Finland
July 08, 1974


Selja Ahava graduated with a degree in scriptwriting from the Theatre Academy of Helsinki in 2001. She has written film scripts, a TV series and a radio play. She has also written works that combine text, space and performance.

Selja received a grant from the Laila Hirvisaari Foundation for her debut novel, The Day the Whale Swam Through London (orig. Eksyneen muistikirja). The purpose of this annual award is to support accomplished Finnish authors who are still at the start of their careers to write high quality, poignant books.

Selja has lived in London for five years, having since settled in Porvoo, where she spends her time renovating an old wooden house and raising her children.

“Miksi jotkut hetket jäivät mieleen ja toiset katosivat? Oliko mieleenjääneissä jotain erityistä, vai katosiko juuri unohdukseen jotain, mikä olisi ehkä ratkaissut kaiken? Joskus Anna hämmästeli, millaisia asioita hän saattoi unohtaa. Toisinaan taas kaikkea sitä, minkä hän muisti.”
― Selja Ahava, Eksyneen muistikirja

“Aikuiset sanovat, että aika parantaa, ja se tarkoittaa, että kun aika kuluu, se mikä on tapahtunut, muuttuu muistoksi, ja sitten sen muistaa huonommin ja huonommin. Sitten kun muistaa enää tosi huonosti, on parantunut.”
