Piret Raud

Najprzyjemniejsza chwila dnia

Piret Raud’s collection of short stories can be classified as magical realism. Estonian critics have rightly called them a valley of horror, as fantasy and reality intertwine here, and the seeming absurdity reveals a second layer. In most of the stories, we deal with the conflict between individuality and collectivity, and the inability to reconcile these oppositions adds a fatalistic tone to the stories. “I hope that the world created by Piret Raud will also fascinate Polish readers. The novellas are contemporary, but rooted in Estonian culture and tradition, realistic and unreal at the same time, real frikas – like the eclairs that the narrator of the title story enjoys. Enjoy!” – Marta Perlikiewicz (from the Afterword).
