\n\tAbout Tarmo Teder<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTarmo Teder<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>(b. 18. IV 1958) is a prose writer and film and literary critic.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born in Kuressaare (then called Kingissepa), attended Tallinn School of Technology\u00a0and night school\u00a0in Kingissepa. He worked in several places at casual\u00a0jobs. In 1994-1995 he was an editor at the newspaper Rahva H\u00e4\u00e4l,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0from 1995 to 1998 on the culture section of Eesti P\u00e4evaleht <\/span><\/i>and from 1998 to 2013 as the film editor\u00a0of the culture paper Sirp<\/span><\/i>. He joined the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union in 1996. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe started publishing poetry in periodicals in 1980, and prose in 1986. The short story collection Tumedad jutud <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Dark Tales\u2019), appeared in 1990; he became better known after 2000, when works such as Jutte kambrist 27-1 <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Tales from Room 27-1\u2019, 2000) and P\u00f6\u00f6ningujutud <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Tales from the Attic\u2019, 2002) appeared. Teder concentrates on characters from the lower strata of society, people on the margin, bohemians and drop-outs who live on the edge. One of the central scenes of action in his works is the Kopli area of Tallinn. It is a realistically depicted masculine world with a somewhat naturalistic pungency. He is a storyteller with interesting twists and richly expressive language.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe novel Onanistid <\/span><\/i>(\u2018The Wankers\u2019, 2006) throws the spotlight on an alcoholic cultural journalist, as a distorted mirror of the contemporary world of arts journalism. The main protagonist happens to end up in an institute that is studying masturbation, which may be taken more generally as a synonym for empty idleness. In this, as in Teder\u2019s other works, parallels have been drawn with the Russian writer Venedikt Yerofeyev.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main protagonist of the novel Andruse elu ja \u00f5nn <\/span><\/i>(\u2018The Life and Fortune of Andrus\u2019, 2016), is a fisherman on Kihnu, following his capricious life from Soviet times to the independent Estonia of today. In this, too, an important place is given to the world of small people, and to alcohol and complex human relationships. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHistorical events are intertwined with the main character\u2019s story in Teder\u2019s voluminous three-part novel Kuusk\u00fcmmend aastat hiljem <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Sixty Years Later\u2019, I-III, 2017 \u2013 2020), which begins with the conception of the chief protagonist Jaan M\u00f5tus, the putative alter ego<\/span><\/i>\u00a0of the author, and surveys his life and doings from then on. The story, which begins on Saaremaa in the late fifties, reaches the Tartu and Tallinn of the eighties by the third volume, throwing a light on the world of Teder\u2019s characters.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTarmo Teder\u00a0has been awarded the The Estonian Film Journalists\u2019 Association\u00a0criticism prize in 2002 and on two occasions the Friedebert Tuglas short story prize: in 2001 for the short story Kohtumine<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018The Meeting\u2019) and in 2005 for Viimase idealisti pildid<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Pictures by the Last Idealist\u2019). <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
