Mirrorland
"Mirrorland" is an epic romantic comedy written in the form of two blogs that tell wildly differing versions of the same love story, his and hers. Donho Likkanen is a Finnish designer of erotic plumbing fixtures. Hope Muntz is a young academic working on her PhD in Mythology, They meet on an airline flight to Finland, where she's researching the Kalevala, the great Finnish national epic, and he's returning after a 35-year exile. Hope is earnest and gullible--but discovers herself to also be resilient and resourceful. And although Likkanen fancies himself the Finnish Casanova, and provides the colorful if unconsciously funny story of his life—he also slowly reveals himself to be, well, almost human.
"I've been a fan of Rod Kierkegaard Jr. since the 1970s. Ever since first reading his comics it has been a passion of mine to seek out his work. His unique style of illustration and sense of humor have always captured my imagination, and so I was pleased when I learned he had written a novel. While the writing may sometimes be reminiscent of Philip K. Dick or Kurt Vonnegut, there's no question that the voice remains unmistakably and uniquely Kierkegaard's own." -T McNamara, Amazon review of "Obama Jones & The Logic Bomb"
