Person properties

General info :
Jari Tervo (born 2 February 1959, Rovaniemi, Finland) is a Finnish author. While his writing career started with poetry, he switched to prose around the early 1990s. He writes traditional plot-driven prose, ranging from humorous (Poliisin poika) to a detective story (Myyrä). His works often include autobiographical elements; for example, Kallellaan is a diary, and Minun sukuni tarina has a protagonist who is the author himself, all but in name. He was also one of the team captains on Finnish TV's version of Have I Got News For You, Uutisvuoto, from the beginning of the show in 1998 until 2017.

He has also written a biography about Vesa-Matti Loiri, and screenplays for two TV series. His books Poliisin Poika, Pyhiesi Yhteyteen and Tuulikaappimaa have been adapted into films.

Despite his renown in Finland, only one of his novels have been translated into English: Among the Saints (Pyhiesi Yhteyteen) in 2014.
