Residency artists and researchers Literature Silvia Hosseini writer I am a teacher of Finnish and literature, postgraduate student of literature, and a writer with a wide-ranging interest in culture. In the Saari Residence, I will be preparing my collection of essays on literature and popular culture. In the essays, I marvel at books, movies, TV series and other cultural phenomena that fascinate despite being bad in one way or another. Why are we delighted, excited and moved by superficial, banal, boring or morally questionable works?
