Wimberg's novel "Lipamäe" is a postmodernist story of a young man who moves from urban area to countryside after the death of his grandfather. The novel shows a blend of realism and phantasy: autobiographic reflections on the last decade of the Soviet era in countryside alternate with magic present. The events take place in a real location - the village of Kaaruka in Järvamaa.
Wimberg's collections of poetry depict autobiographic thoughts. In his works, Wimberg uses innovative orthography of Estonian language.Published in English
