Volomari Volotinen’s First Wife and Other Old Junk (Volomari Volotisen ensimmäinen vaimo ynnä muuta vanhaa tavaraa)

A playful and jocular tale of an insurance lawyer with a very unusual antiques collection.

What is a man doing with an ex-Pope’s balls, Jesus’ collarbone, the Red Colonel’s skeleton and Mannerheim’s false teeth? What kind of man cuts firewood with a guillotine and puts Lenin’s fur on his head in the cold?

Meet the busy insurance lawyer, Volomari Volotinen, whose dream it is to follow in his father’s footsteps and build the world’s strangest collection of strange, arcane, and infamous items. This story follows Volomari through his quirky life of love, loss and obsession.
