There is nothing to becoming a hero somewhere in a sparsely populated area - just move a little flower or just be there and the crown will be placed on your head with a bow. Is this said in real life or in jealous folklore or by whom? The characters in Armin Kõomägi's 24 mini-short stories are united by a great need to act and by their curiosity, they actively adjust the world and shift perspectives, whether for themselves or for the storyteller: cheerful Villu, Saaremaa yoga pensioners, writers with special psychological convictions, a determined lawn mower and a smooth polar bear. Life will get a new rhythm, that’s for sure.
"Heroes of the Periphery" is the author's fifth short prose collection. - translation of the Estonian language synopsis.
