ELIC presents short portrait films on Estonian authors as seen by their French translators and publishers. The films have been directed by Marianne Kõrver and produced by Ilvi Liive-Roosipuu. This week’s post features Andrus Kivirähk, author of the best-selling The Man Who Spoke Snakish. With his satirical writing style, Andrus Kivirähk is one of the best-loved Estonian authors among adults and children alike. When reading him, you might have Homeric laughs, but everything comes straight from life and never misses a tragic beat.
