Andrus Kivirähk (born 17 August 1970)[1] is an Estonian writer, playwright, screenwriter, and satirist.[2] He writes across genres for both adults and children, including satirical columns and screenplays.[3] Many of his stories have been adapted into films. A number of his works have also been translated into multiple languages. Kivirähk has received awards in children's literature in Estonia and internationally. He often mixes elements of dark humor, Estonian folklore, fantasy, and social commentary in his writing.[2][4][5][6]

As of 2004, his novel Rehepapp ehk November (Old Barny or November) had sold 25,000 copies, making him the most popular Estonian writer of the 21st century. His book The Man Who Spoke Snakish (Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu, 2007) has been one of the top-selling books in Estonia. He is known for his children's series Lotte, Oskar and the Things, and Sirli, Siim ja saladused (Sirli, Siim and the Secrets). His works Lotte and Rehepapp ehk November have been adapted for the screen.[7][2][8]: 44 

Early life

He was born in Tallinn on August 17, 1970. His mother, Ingrid Kivirähk (née Kasesalu, 1931–2024), was a puppeteer and actor at the Estonian Puppet Theatre (Nukuteater).[9] His father, actor and theatre director Ants Kivirähk, died when he was fifteen.[10] He grew up with an older brother, Juhan Kivirähk, a sociologist. He graduated from Tallinn 32nd Secondary School in 1988. He continued his education at the University of Tartu, where he studied journalism.[2]

Career

Literary career

His writing won a humour competition from Pikker magazine in 1984.[11]: 5 [12] As a schoolboy, he got paid five-rouble money orders for his short stories, which he picked up from the Press House on Pärnu Road.[13] He graduated from university in 1993.[2] In 1990, during his university years, he became a member of the Estonian Students' Society (Eesti Üliõpilaste Selts).[14] While studying journalism at Tartu University, he continued to work with Pikker. During his fourth year, he joined the cultural department of the daily newspaper Eesti Päevaleht. It was here, from 1992 to 1993, that the character he is most well-known for, Ivan Orav, was written. Kivirähk developed stories about Orav by drawing on chapters from a contemporary history textbook and reimagining the events through Orav's distorted and humorous perspective.[15] He has contributed weekly satirical columns to Eesti Päevaleht and many of his books first appeared in the newspaper before becoming books.[16][7] Following his graduation in 1993, Kivirähk continued to work with the paper's culture department. He served as a humour editor and was responsible for the Sunday edition's humour content. He was also editor of the dedicated humour page "Minu Kroon."[2] Kivirähk now works as an opinion editor and a regular columnist for the newspaper, where he writes satirical articles concerning Estonian society and politics.[17]

Kivirähk is also a children's author, with over a dozen published children's books.[18]: 5 [19]: 7 [20]: 5 [21] His 1999 book Sirli, Siim ja saladused explores loneliness and dream worlds. The Lotte series began with Lotte reis lõunamaale (2002) and continued with Leiutajateküla Lotte (2006). He was the winner of the reader-nominated award in the Nukits Competition in 2006, 2008, and 2010.[22]

His early humor writing used clichés, exaggerations, intentionally integrated strange elements, and wordplay to draw attention to and to poke fun at societal and political problems.[23]: 5  These techniques later influenced his satirical writing and journalism. Kivirähk's writing style was heavily inspired by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald.[24][25] His writing contains folk-oriented humour found similar to that in the works of Oskar Luts. The focus on national issues he integrates into his writing is also similar to the writing of Anton Hansen Tammsaare. He also shares elements of dark humour and social allegory similar to the satire and magical realism of Mikhail Bulgakov.[7] His work often subverts serious historical themes through the lens of the absurd.[12][7][5]

His novel Rehepapp ehk November (2000) is written as a diary about events taking place in a 19th-century Estonian village and combines dark humour, nature descriptions, and mythology.[26][27] The novel inspired a 2001 stage play, a 2013 opera, and the 2017 film adaptation November, directed by Rainer Sarnet. His 2007 parabolic fantasy novel The Man Who Spoke Snakish (Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu) explores the decline of ancient Estonian culture.[28][29][30]: 44 

Kivirähk's work has created space for modern Estonian fiction based on traditional stories and folklore.[31]: 5  Kivirähk's reclamation of satire in the genre of folklore has been credited by scholars, such as Piret Noorhani, as representing a form of postmodernist national literature that uses tactics from comedy, like irony and parody, to both critique national identity and revive it.[32]: 44  By subverting traditional categories and beliefs, his writing brings folklore out of the historical record and allows it to be reinterpreted.[33] His work often contains elements of examining the past and memory. Many of his characters gain empathy for the past throughout their interactions.[34]: 7 

He has been a member of the Estonian Writers' Union (in Estonian: Eesti Kirjanike Liit) since 1996.[35]

Broadcast journalism career

Since 1995, Kivirähk has co-hosted the satirical weekly radio show, Rahva Oma Kaitse (The People's Own Defense), on the Raadio 2 channel of Estonian public broadcaster ERR alongside Mart Juur.[36][37] The weekly live broadcast provides commentary on domestic and international politics.[38][39] The show celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025.[40] The weekly program combines journalism with comedic takes on current events. The show broadcasts live every Tuesday at 19:00 with replays on Sundays at 12:00.[41][42] Juur and Kivirähk will usually air a 'special' on Radio 2 along with the live broadcast during the Eurovision Song Contest.

Stage and screen career

Kivirähk writes plays with absurd humor. As with his other work, it often engages with Estonian history. He debuted with Vanamehed seitsmendalt in 1992.[43] In 2000, he wrote and directed Papagoide päevad at the Estonian Drama Theatre. He adapted his novel Rehepapp for the stage in 2001. Other works include Adolf Rühka lühikene elu (2005) and Voldemar (2007), directed by Merle Karusoo.[44][45]He wrote and directed Köster at the Tallinn City Theatre in 2016.[46][47] Recent plays include Kaarnakivi perenaine (2017) and Isamaa pääsukesed (2018).[48][49]

Kivirähk co-wrote the screenplay for the animated feature Lotte from Gadgetville (2006) with directors Heiki Ernits and Janno Põldma. He also wrote scripts for Lotte ja kuukivi saladus (2011) and Lotte ja kadunud lohed (2019).[50]: 5  [51] In 2023, he wrote and appeared in the hybrid film Kaka, kevad ja teised.[52] In television, he wrote the comedy mini-series Vabariigi valvur (1994–1995).

Personal life

Kivirähk is married to journalist and translator Ilona Martson (also known as Ilona Kivirähk). She is the editor-in-chief of the children's magazine Täheke.[53] They have three daughters: Kaarin, Liisa, and Teele.[54] Their first grandchild was born in March 2024.[55] Their eldest daughter is art critic and curator, Kaarin Kivirähk[56]

Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature, Culture and Environment. 6 (1). Tallinn University: 43–57. ISSN 2171-9594. The Man Who Spoke Snakish has become a canonical book in Estonia, having led to 2007 being labelled as "the year of 'snake words'" (Contra 119). This motif, however, has been borrowed from the collection of fairy tales by Jüri Parijõgi (1977)—A Tale About a Man Who Spoke Snakish, focussing on a protagonist who is able to communicate with animals and birds and who understands snake language as well. The urge to write the novel is fused with the dangers of the Estonian language and nation becoming extinct. Indeed, Kivirähk has classified his work as a novel of warning or prediction, and in that vein most analyses have focused on snake language as a symbol of the disappearing Estonian language and the theme of threatened national identity. However, while the novel is predominantly classified as magical realism, fantasy, or science fiction, it is noteworthy that it has been termed "the first Estonian eco-novel" (Hasselblatt 1262).1

Andrus Kivirähk Hans Christian Andersen Award 2026 for a Writer Candidate for the Estonian Section of IBBY (PDF). International Board on Books for Young People. p. 5. The writer is very familiar with folklore and incorporates it into modern stories with playful ease.

Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature, Culture and Environment. 6 (1). Tallinn University: 43–57. ISSN 2171-9594. The use of parody, pastiche and the grotesque characterises Kivirähk's oeuvre, and being also termed a postmodernist, he tends to subvert conventional attitudes about nation and what is regarded as own or alien. Focusing on national concerns and history, Kivirähk often unites historical and political themes with mythological elements.
  33. ^ Noorhani, Piret (2002). "In Wonderland with Kivirähk: a Chance for the Grotesque". Sirp. Keel ja Kirjandus. Retrieved 2026-05-03. By playing with our common knowledge of the national history and culture, Kivirähk creates a strange and grotesque world, where the traditional categories, hierarchies and beliefs have ceased to work and where everything is in constant movement, incessant metamorphosis, a perpetual state of reform and revaluation. This is postmodernist national literature with its irony, parody and grotesque deformations typically serving to criticise as well as re-actualise certain values essential from the viewpoints of national identity and national culture.

Andrus Kivirähk Hans Christian Andersen Award 2026 for a Writer Candidate for the Estonian Section of IBBY (PDF). International Board on Books for Young People. p. 7. The past and memories, connection to time, are also important to Kivirähk. Oskar's relationship with his grandmother starts to grow when he suddenly realizes that she too used to be a little girl. Remembering the past is also important in Tilda and the Dust Angel. When characters recall important moments, they immediately start to feel better, as if they are finding themselves.

Retrieved 2026-05-03. Milline isa sa oma kolmele tütrele oled? Kas niisugune leebe nagu Limpa-raamatu isa, kes on nõus tüli lõpetamiseks poodi uute limonaadipudelite järele minema? Limpa isa on sümpaatne, tema ma võiksin olla küll. Mulle meeldib, kui mul on lastega sõbralikud suhted ning me saame lobiseda ja nalja teha. Mulle tundub, et olen suhteliselt mõistev isa ja me saame hästi läbi. Aga vahel võin äkitselt mingi asja peale ka vihastada. Näiteks? Alles üks päev teritas noorim tütar Teele elutoas diivani peal pliiatseid, mis tekitas hästi palju sodi. Selliste väikeste asjade peale võin ootamatult plahvatada. Aga siis ma muidugi viie minuti pärast lähen ja palun vabandust. Millegipärast on mul tohutu kompleks plekkide suhtes. Ma ei suuda vaadata, kui laps sööb jäätist, on näha, et see hakkab tilkuma, ja siis see kukubki talle kleidi peale. Sellistel hetkedel tunnen lausa füüsilist valu. On sul mõni nõrkus, mida lapsed oskavad ära kasutada? Ma ei tea, seda peab neilt küsima. Ma ei usu, et neil on vaja mingit erilist strateegiat, et mind leplikusse meeleollu viia. Ma enamasti olengi leplik, kui nad minu meelest just midagi väga arutut ei taha. Siis puiklen vastu. Teelel pole see aeg veel käes, aga kahe vanema tütre, Kaarini ja Liisa puhul ma seda kurikuulsat puberteeti, millest räägitakse, pole märganud, mulle on see võõras. Olen nendega kogu aeg ühtviisi hästi läbi saanud. Mida sulle lastega koos teha meeldib? Kaarin elab juba omaette, Liisa käib 11. klassis ja tal on nii palju tegemist, et näeme teda mõni päev ainult enne kooliminekut ja õhtul korra vilksatamas. Aga Teelega käime üsna tihti koos söömas ja kinos. Mina olen enamasti nõus temaga Hollywoodi multikaid vaatama, popkorni sööma ja Coca-Colat jooma, abikaasa Ilona mitte. Üks koht, kus me igal suvel kogu perega koos oleme, on Käsmu. Sel aastal võtsite perre ka koera. Kuidas koer sind on muutnud? Koer on muutnud mind oluliselt kodusemaks, sest temaga peab sageli õues jalutamas käima. [What kind of father are you to your three daughters? Are you as mild-mannered as the father in the Limpa book, who is willing to go to the shop for new lemonade bottles just to end a quarrel? The Limpa father is likeable; I could certainly be him. I like having a friendly relationship with my children where we can chat and joke around. I feel I am a relatively understanding father and we get along well. However, I can sometimes suddenly get angry over certain things. For example? Just the other day, my youngest daughter, Teele, was sharpening pencils on the living room sofa, which made a huge mess. I can unexpectedly explode over small things like that. But then, of course, I go and apologise five minutes later. For some reason, I have a massive complex regarding stains. I cannot bear to watch a child eating ice cream when you can see it is about to drip, and then it falls right onto her dress. In those moments, I feel almost physical pain. Do you have any weaknesses that your children know how to exploit? I don't know; you would have to ask them. I don't think they need any special strategy to get me into a lenient mood. I am usually quite easy-going, unless they want something I find completely irrational. Then I resist. Teele hasn't reached that stage yet, but with my two older daughters, Kaarin and Liisa, I haven't noticed that infamous puberty people talk about; it is foreign to me. I have always gotten along with them equally well. What do you enjoy doing together with your children?Kaarin already lives on her own. Liisa is in the 11th grade and has so much going on that some days we only see a glimpse of her before school and briefly in the evening. But with Teele, we go out to eat and to the cinema quite often. I am usually willing to watch Hollywood cartoons with her, eat popcorn, and drink Coca-Cola, whereas my wife, Ilona, is not. One place where we spend time together as a whole family every summer is Käsmu. You added a dog to the family this year. How has the dog changed you? The dog has made me significantly more of a homebody because he needs to be taken for walks outdoors frequently.]
