Kui kirjanik kolib Kollasesse majja, leiab ta eest kaks musta kassi. Õieti vastu kirjaniku tahtmist saavad neist tema elu ja üldse inimelu lõbusad peeglid. Nende loo jutustamine viib aina uute lugude juurde, mis põimuvad ja moodustavadki lõpuks “Mandala” mustri. Seal on oma koht nii kassidel kui nende peremehel, aga ka väikesel poisil Joosepil, vana mõisa ammukadunud rahval ning selle uutel asukatel… Kõik nad (vähemalt inimesed, kui ka mitte kassid) on otsinud ja otsivad oma õnne valemit. Mõnikord see tundub ju nii käegakatsutav ja lihtne, just nagu Ladhaki munkade värviline liivajoonis…

An Estonian author and poet who also writes as Emil Tode and Anton Nigov. Õnnepalu was born in Tallinn and studied biology at the University of Tartu from 1980 to 1985. He began his writing career as a poet in 1985 and has published three collections of his works. In 1993 he garnered international attention when his novel Piiririik (English translation: "Border State") was published under his pen name 'Emil Tode'. The book was translated into 14 languages and became the most translated Estonian book of the 1990s. That year, he received the annual literary award given by the Baltic Assembly. Õnnepalu's work often explores topics such as homosexuality, isolation and betrayal. In 1992, his poem "Inquiétude du Fini" was performed as a choral piece, with notable Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür acting as conductor. In addition to writing novels, Tõnu Õnnepalu has translated works into Estonian from the French language by such authors as François Mauriac, Charles Baudelaire and Marcel Proust and has written for such English language publications as the Poetry Society. Tõnu Õnnepalu is also a member of the Board of Governors of the Eesti Maaülikool (Estonian University of Life Sciences) in Tartu. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%B5...
