Jüri Tuulik on Abruka, the island of his books
Jüri Tuulik Abrukast, oma raamatute saarest
Writer Jüri Tuulik grew up on Abruka, a small wooded island in the bay south of Kuressaare, and the island kept returning in his stories, as it did in those of his twin brother Ülo. In this 1983 conversation with Peeter Hein he talks about Abruka and what he calls the 'Abruka phenomenon' in literature: how one tiny island fed so much writing. He also explains how his own books came about and where he found his inspiration.

Kirjanik Jüri Tuulik kasvas üles Abrukal, väikesel metsasel saarel Kuressaarest lõunas, ning saar jõudis ikka ja jälle tema juttudesse, nagu ka tema kaksikvenna Ülo omadesse. 1983. aasta vestluses Peeter Heinaga räägib ta Abrukast ja nn Abruka fenomenist kirjanduses: kuidas üks pisike saar nii paljule kirjutamisele toitu andis. Ta selgitab ka oma raamatute sünnilugu ja inspiratsiooniallikaid.
