Riikka Pulkkinen was born in 1980 and spent her youth in Oulu, a town on Finland’s northwest coast, with her father (a lawyer), mother (a doctor), and two sisters. During that time, she was also a very talented athlete. Nowadays she studies literature and philosophy at the University of Helsinki, and does her jogging without a stopwatch.

The Border, Pulkkinen's first novel, was published in 2006 and got positive reviews and immediate sales success.

Her second novel, True, came out in 2010 and was shortlisted for the Finlandia Prize, the most prestigious literary award in Finland. The film rights of True have been sold to Vertigo Productions (Finland), and its adaptation for the stage premiered at Helsinki KOM Theatre in November 2011.

Quotes by Riikka Pulkkinen (?)

“Ihmisen on hyvä säilyä hiukan vieraana itselleen, kantaa muukalaisuutta mukanaan. Kukaan ei koskaan voi täysin ymmärtää, mistä elämässä on kyse, ja siksi muukalaisuus on ihmisen perimmäinen olotila.”
― Riikka Pulkkinen

“People were endlessly good, wise, and gentle in the midst of all the hurry, the conferences, the dinner invitations, the smell of disinfectant, the meeting reminders.”
― Riikka Pulkkinen, Totta

“Kenelläkään tässä maailmassa ei ole varaa pitää rakkautta lapsellisena ja muutosuskoa falskina.”
