Paavo Haavikon One and Twenty haastaa eeppisen runouden perinteet ironisella otteellaan ja jatkuvasti muuttuvilla näkökulmilla. Tämä moderni eeppinen runoelma kytkee yhteen myyttejä, historiaa ja sattumanvaraisuuden voimia uudella, vangitsevalla tavalla.
In contrast to classical epics, Haavikko's One and Twenty (Kaksikymmentä ja yksi) does not present us with a ready-made, stable worldview. In a modern epic there is no place for a stable hero.
The world is in constant transition. Latching on to a given explanation, say, myth or history, is virtually impossible. Empirically myths can be true, but from another perspective they can be seen as misleading, while history may be nothing but a fiction created against a set of questionable intentions. In Haavikko's epic poem one can clearly discern the hallmarks of uncontrollable whims and chance: individual desires and needs, beliefs and changes, boundaries, conflicts, and an endless shifting of different contexts.
