«Birdbrain» is the science fiction and fantasy novel by Johanna Sinisalo, published by Peter Owen Publishers in paperback (217 pages, in English).
A young Finnish couple hikes through Australasia while reading «Heart of Darkness». The journey turns unsettling: belongings disappear and nature seems to respond to a kakapo, an endangered parrot. Black humour and fantasy show the Western fascination with the primitive and the environment's response.
The Finnish original «Linnunaivot», translated by David Hackston, won the Nuori Aleksis prize in 2009.
For readers of speculative fiction, contemporary fantasy and travel literature with an unsettling atmosphere.
