Hans Aslak Guttorm (1906-1992) is in many ways the link between the Sami writers of the first part of the twentieth century and the generation of writers that appeared on the literary scene in the 1960s and 1970s. Guttorm went to Jyvaskyla in southern Finland in the 1930s with the intention of becoming a teacher, and he wrote several manuscripts in Sami during his years as a student there. Only one manuscript was published during that time, Koccam spalli [Rising Wind], which appeared in 1940, the same year as the outbreak of WWH. The other manuscripts remained in his desk drawer until the the first Sami-owned and Sami-managed publishing company released them as a series of monographs in the 1980s. Significantly, it was Guttorm who was honored by being nominated as the first Sami candidate for the Nordic Prize for Literature in 1984; nominated for work which had existed only in manuscript form for close to fifty years.
