\n\t\"Agu<\/a><\/p>\n

Agu Tammeveski (has also used the pseudonym Indrek Kraas, born 20 October 1951) is a prose writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTammeveski was born in Hiiumaa Island. He completed N\u00f5o Secondary School in 1969 and thereafter was in military service. After that, he worked as a cook on an ocean ship for eight years and later as a forestry worker. He has been a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 2004.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1986, Tammeveski won the story competition of the journal Vikerkaar with his story \u00d5hk<\/em> (\u2018Air\u2019). Tammeveski has written short stories for which he has twice received prizes in August M\u00e4lk short story competition (for the short story Sipelgate universum<\/em> \u2013 \u2018Universe of Ants\u2019 \u2013 in 1999 and for Igaviku maaletooja<\/em> \u2013 \u2018Importer of Eternity\u2019 \u2013 in 2000). In 2003 Tammeveski published the novel Kas teie olite siis teistsugune?<\/em> (\u2018Were You Different Then?\u2019) which deserved honorary mention at the novel competition of 2002.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTammeveski mostly writes looking back at events in a long-term perspective. Nothing noteworthy happens at the moment of telling the story. The connecting feature of the seven stories in Tammeveski\u2019s collection M\u00f6\u00f6duvate p\u00e4evade soolane ja magus. Seitse juttu \u00fche pealkirjaga<\/em> (\u2018The Savoury and the Sweet of the Passing Days. Seven Stories with One Title\u2019, 2016) is the passage of human life as engulfed in yearning and expectations. Logical self-analysis does not take the characters closer to the fulfilment of their actual wishes and dreams. The precise nature of the characters\u2019 wishes and dreams remains unexpressed. In Tammeveski\u2019s stories, the plot is always a foreplay or a background to something; the characters stand on the threshold of something; something is coming but certainly not a triumph. Human relations in Tammeveski\u2019s stories are alienatingly distant; no one seeks for closeness or warmth from their near ones. This expresses the characteristic neutrality of Tammeveski\u2019s creation.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTammeveski was one of the three scriptwriters of the film Ameerika m\u00e4ed<\/em> (\u2018Rollercoaster\u2019, 1994, directed by Peeter Simm).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
