Hugo Vaher, the author of the novel 'Nutivaba', has expressed a desire to create a more positive narrative amid a world often filled with grayness. His work features the journey of three friends embarking on a wild road trip to save a young man's relationship, suggesting a blend of adventure and emotional exploration. Vaher aims to evoke laughter and introspection in readers, hoping they feel as if they've experienced something significant upon finishing the book.

In discussing the structure of the story, Vaher highlights the importance of details in maintaining engagement. He believes that for an energetic rhythm to be established, events must continuously flow from one to the next. Nevertheless, he also acknowledges that road trips are opportunities for contemplation and character development, often signified by moments spent around a campfire where characters engage in deeper discussions. This balance between action and reflection is what Vaher finds vital to the storytelling.

As a nominee for the Children’s Literature Award from the Estonian Cultural Capital Foundation, Vaher is keen on creating a narrative that not only entertains but also provokes thought among readers. 'Nutivaba' is intended not just as a story but as an experience that resonates with the audience, perfectly embodying Vaher’s ambition to deliver joy in literature during challenging times.
