The color of death is white. At funerals, black is worn ‒ the living wear it. The deceased is also in black, because he has been dressed in the best he ever had, but his face is always white. When the soul leaves a person, only white remains.
Juhani's face loses color. First, the red, the color of blood, disappeared. The face turned yellow, then the yellow disappeared, and gray remained, which is now slowly fading towards white.
Aki Ollikainen received the Helsingin Sanomat Literary Prize in 2012 for his novel "The Year of Hunger". Ollikainen's short novel has been published in ten foreign languages (including German, French, English, etc.). One hundred and fifty years ago, the winter of 1867-68 was the last famine in peacetime Western Europe.
