Arto Tapio Paasilinna (Finnish: [ˈɑrto ˈpɑːsiˌlinːɑ], approximately AR-toh PAH-see-LEEN-nah; 20 April 1942 – 15 October 2018[1][2][3]) was a Finnish writer, being a former journalist turned comic novelist. One of Finland's most successful novelists,[4] he won a broad readership outside of Finland[5] in a way few other Finnish authors have before.[4][6][7] Translated into 27 languages,[8] over seven million copies[6] of his books have been sold worldwide, and he has been claimed as "instrumental in generating the current level of interest in books from Finland".[7]

Paasilinna is mostly known[4] for his 1975 novel The Year of the Hare (Jäniksen vuosi), a bestseller in France and Finland,[9] translated into 18[5] languages, awarded three international prizes, and adapted twice into feature films: a 1977 Finnish film directed by Risto Jarva called The Year of the Hare, and a 2006 French film directed by Marc Rivière called Le Lièvre de Vatanen.

Arto Paasilinna's brothers are the writers Erno Paasilinna, Reino Paasilinna and Mauri Paasilinna.
