Tainaron: Mail From Another City (orig. Fin. Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a science fiction/fantasy novel written in 1985 by Finnish author Leena Krohn. The book is regarded as the author's breakthrough novel.[1] Tainaron was nominated for the Finlandia Prize in 1985,[2] The Nordic Council Literature Prize in 1988,[3] the World Fantasy Award[4] and the International Horror Guild Award in 2005.[5] It won the Thanks for the Book Award in 1986.[6]

Tainaron consists of 30 letters sent beyond the sea from a city of insects.

The U.S. edition was nominated for the World Fantasy Award[7] and the International Horror Guild Award in 2005.[8] This edition, published by Prime Books in 2004 and edited by Kathleen Martin,[9] adds to the original Finnish publication by adding original illustrations by the author's sister, Inari Krohn, a Finnish painter.[10]

Reviewed in glowing terms by Matthew Cheney, the writing was described as "lyrical and deep, metaphysical, philosophical, poetic".[11] Jeff VanderMeer praised its "scenes of startling beauty and strangeness" and listed it as one of the best novels of 2004.[12]
