Nii nagu mõni aasta tagasi ilmunud „Kaka ja kevad”, sisaldab ka „Karneval ja kartulisalat” Andrus Kivirähki Tähekeses ilmunud jutukesi. Tark padi ja õiglane tolmuimeja, hiir, kes soovis saada kuldkalaks, ning verivorst, kes unistas sõprusest piparkookidega, maias arvuti ja jubedad barbid, lendavad trussikud ja hambavalu käes vaevlev lohe – need on vaid mõned raamatu tegelased. Ja nagu ikka, lisavad Kivirähki juttudele väärtust Heiki Ernitsa lahedad pildid.
Author
Andrus Kivirähk is an Estonian journalist, playwright and novelist. His writing style can be called self-mocking and sarcastic with dark humour. His best known work "Rehepapp ehk November", a.k.a. "Rehepapp", has been translated to Finnish and Norwegian. "Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu", a bestseller in Estonia, so popular that a board-game was based on it, has been translated to English as "The Man Who Spoke Snakish". These books, as well as his other historical-themed works such as "Ivan Orava mälestused" and "Kalevipoeg" resonated strongly with contemporary Estonian society.
