The work explores the author's reflections on Finnish identity, culture, and the societal trends of his time, with a sharp focus on self-satisfaction and hypocrisy among various groups within society.   At the start of the book, the author addresses the reader directly, discussing the Finnish tendency to use the pronoun "we" as a substitute for "I." He criticizes the collective narcissism of the Finnish people, suggesting that they often project an inflated sense of self-importance. The author positions himself as both an observer and participant in this behavior, engaging in a reflective exploration of literature and criticism. He challenges the reader to confront their own complacency and the superficial nature of Finnish societal norms, indicating that his writing will serve as a form of both introspection and critique. Overall, he sets the tone for a satirical examination of various societal roles, from critics to artists, underscoring the pervasive culture of self-deception and criticism in Finland.
