Jari Tervo thought that someone should write a novel about that man someday.
Tervo says that he wanted to see if it is possible to write about real issues, instead of topics such as stepfamilies, or work exhaustion.
Tervo believes that from 1944 to his death, Kekkonen had dealings with the Soviet KGB "probably on a weekly basis".

 Jarmo Papinniemi: Of Russia, with love   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Tervo takes the reader close to the Soviet ruler, on his trips to the bathroom and to the sources of his melancholy.
Tervo's hindsight is also more substantial than Oranen's: he focuses it on the whole society from the top to the bottom, not just on one age group.
Tervo condemns all of Finland for shutting its eyes during the 1970s; he compares Finns to a baker who works next to a concentration camp, who smells the stench of burning bodies, but who carries on regardless, baking his bread and selling it to the camp without asking any questions.

 CONTEXT: Issue No. 18: Letter from Finland
The great majority of these are set in the northern town of Rovaniemi, where the residents, particularly petty criminals and other people who thrive on the streets and in bars, churn out their linguistically imaginative tales.
Jari Tervo is a master of impersonation; in his novels the police, thieves, priests, and even housewives each speak their own expressive languages.
Alongside Raittila and Tervo, there is reason to mention a third heir to Meri and Linna, Kari Hotakainen (1957-), and the book that has become the most important Finnish novel of the new millennium thus far: Trench Road (Juoksuhaudantie, 2002).

Jari Tervon mielestä hänen pääteoksiaan ovatkin juuri Pohjan hovi ja Pyhiesi yhteyteen (1995).
Jari Tervon romaanit sijoittuvat Rovaniemelle, tosin Pohjan hovissa liikutaan muuallakin Lapissa.
Jari Tervon omien sanojen mukaan hänen proosateoksissaan kerrotaan ihmisistä, jotka arkijärjen perusteella vaikuttavat mahdottomilta, mutta jotka pian paljastuvat mahdollisiksi, jopa todennäköisiksi.

 Urho Kekkonen
His character has inspired a number of other writers, too, among them Jari Tervo, whose MYYRÄ (2004, 'mole') is actually a thriller about espionage, Finland and her neighbor the Soviet Union, "the largest concentration camp in the world".
Tervo portrays Kekkonen at the same time as a mythical historical figure and a cynical, masterful political player.
Urho Kekkonen was married from 1926 to author Sylvi (Uino) Kekkonen (1900-1974).

 Snake or paradise
My favourites were Antti Hyry, Jari Tervo or Veronica Pimenoff, but the annual Finlandia literature prize went to Kristina Carlsson for her book Maan ääreen ("to the ends of the earth").
Jari Tervo, a media personality in his own right, did not fare that well with the Finlandia jury, but in his book Minun sukuni tarina ("the story of my family") he urges us to study these most intimate relationships.
Even though studying one’s own family is always a leap into dark, there is a possibility of finding something new, surprising and inspiring.
