Hyvän yön tarinoita
Eeva Kilven uudet tarinat kertovat suomalaisista kesäpäivistä ja ihmisistä maalla, helsinkiläisistä nuorista ja nuorista vallankumouksellisista Istanbulissa. Tarinat tavoittavat elämää läheltä ja kaukaa, todellisuutta joka vaihtuu kokijan mukaan. Vieraalla maalla kirjailija joutuu määrittelemään kantansa kipeää poliittista tilannetta vasten, mutta myös kotoiset maisemat ja tutut ihmiset näyttäytyvät äkkiä uusilta, ennen tavoittamattomilta puoliltaan.
Eeva Kilpi kuvaa hienovaraisen eläytyvästi henkilöitään, heidän kykyjensä asteikkoa julmuudesta hellyyteen.

About the author
Eeva Kilpi
53 books60 followersWritten by: Katarina Blomqvist, Liisa Enwald
Eeva Kilpi comes from eastern Karelia, east of Finland's present-day border with Russia, studied English philology at the University of Helsinki, and worked as a teacher before she began to earn a living from her writing. From 1970 to 1975, she chaired the PEN club in Finland.
She made her debut with the short story collection Noidanlukko in 1959. She wrote about the evacuation of the population of Karelia in Elämä edestakasin, 1964, and Elämän evakkona, 1983, as well as in her autobiographical novel trilogy Talvisodan aika (1989; Eng. tr. The Time of the Winter War), Välirauha ikävöinnin aika, 1990, which describes the interwar period, and Jatkosodan aika, 1993.
Her experimental, erotic novel Tamara (1972; Eng. tr. Tamara) which brought her international success, depicts the relationship between a sexually active woman and a handicapped man. In many of her works, the central character is a strong, independent woman, for example in her novels Häätanhu, 1973, Nainen kuvastimessa, 1962, and in Kesä ja keski-ikäinen nainen, 1970. Besides fiction, she has also written autobiographical literature: Ihmisen ääni, 1976, and Naisen päiväkirja, 1978. In Ihmisen ääni she challenges the myth of the mother.
With her works Laulu rakkaudesta ja muita runoja, 1972, and Terveisin, 1976, Eeva Kilpi has made her mark as an ironic and humorous poet of the everyday. These collections were published in 1980 in Swedish under the title Sånger om kärlek, while a selection of the poems was published in Danish under the title En sang om kærlighed in 1981. In her later poetry collections Ennen kuolemaa, 1982, and Animalia, 1987, Eeva Kilpi questions man's right to dominate nature. Her poetry collection Kiitos eilisestä, 1996, is about sorrow and ageing, but also about love and passion.
Additions by the editorial team 2011:

Kauniita tarinoita, joissa näkyy maailma, jossa oli monella tavalla enemmän edistysuskoa, mutta myös rajoja ja rajoituksia kuin siinä, missä nykyään elämme.
