P.S. "Was nun, Pinneberg?" - though a reasonably accurate quotation in terms of my personal (all-too frequent) use of the phrase - is, in fact, the summer love-child of the original title (if I'm not much mistaken: "Kleiner Man - was nun?" [small man - what now?]) and the translation "Mikä eteen, Pinneberg?" [what to the front, pinneberg?], although I've not actually read the original, nor the translation, but they were highly recommended in the smashing 1935 practical guide to being a writer, Aiotko kirjailijaksi? by Mika Waltari, the source of several timelessly relevant observations, such as, it is possible for one to live as a poet in this country, but much much easier it is for one to die. And I think my work here is done!

yes! It's extra awesome.

(Also, coming from a fella who was a special avant garde poet but also made his living churning out detective novels and big fat historical novels largely of the Church Book Club readability level, I think, kinda endearing.)
