		A literary prize can be seen as a case of how the dynamics of a literary field work and as a visible way of producing literary value.
		Literary prizes are naturally not the only way of increasing literary prestige but, as media coverage has become an increasingly important part of the literary process, the importance of literary prizes has risen.
		A prize for non-fiction thus exists at the intersection between the literary and academic fields.

		Helsingin Sanomat reports that Helena Sinervo's Runoilijan talossa ('In the House of the Poet') won the 2004 Finlandia Prize for Literature.
		The Finlandia is one of the big Nordic prizes; previous winners include Johanna Sinisalo's Not Before Sundown (published as Troll in the US), so maybe this is a book worth keeping an eye out for.
		In that respect, it differs from the Andrei Bely Prize, which favors bold innovation; the Apollon Grigoriev Prize, which reflects the refined choice of critics; and the Debut Prize, which is given to beginning writers.

		In the manner of the Dutch painter, who lived around 1500, Anita Konkka is also a tireless fabulist and painter of colorful details, but Bosch's pessimism, and especially his moralism, are half a millennium away from her.
		When Anita Konkka was a contender for the Finlandia Prize in 1988, with her novel In the Fool's Paradise, I remember delighting in her colorful, playful and wonderfully ironic style.
		Anita Konkka definitely was not a very familiar name for the general public before becoming a candidate for the Finlandia Prize.
