Jacasser

Rate this book
Jarkko Tontin Jacasser on herkullinen yhdistelmä itseironiaa ja paatosta.

Jacasser ei usko talveen,
vaikka pihalla lumiukko jo seisoo jäyhänä,
lyö puukolla myöhästynyttä muuttolintua,
ei usko ennen sormien kohmettumista
ei koskaan usko Jacasser ennen
oman lihan kertomaa.

Jarkko Tontti (s. 1971) on monipuolinen kirjoittaja ja kulttuurivaikuttaja, jonka alter ego on tuttu jo kiitetystä ja palkitusta esikoisrunokokoelmasta Vuosikirja (2006): ”Tontti luo kiintoisan roolihahmon, Jacasserin, ajan ja paikan ylittävän yleisihmisen, historiallisten tapahtuminen todistajan.” – Karjalainen.
