| A page from Aino Sutinen's book of travel comics |
Aino Sutinen (born 1983) has
published a book on her travels in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh in the South Caucasus. It is in
Finnish, with English subtitles on every page.
Vaimoksi vuorille – Reppumatkasarjakuvia Etelä-Kaukasiasta
Mountain Wife – Backpacking Comics from the South Caucasus
120 pages (Neon Tunisia, 2015)
This is a charming
book. Aino Sutinen seeks out the less-trodden paths without
making it into an extreme sport. She seems to easily establish rapport with
people and writes about
them with open curiosity and kindness. This is a refreshing attitude after several travel comics (mostly by men) where the traveller often portrays
himself in terms of heroic endurance among locals.
Aino Sutinen has
travelled, as it were, on our behalf and joyfully shares her experience with
all of us. Read the album and enjoy!
