\n\tUrmo Jaanim\u00e4gi (born 23 August 1970) is a psychologist and writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaanim\u00e4gi was born at Rakke in L\u00e4\u00e4ne-Virumaa County and completed Rakke secondary school. After military service, he lived in Tallinn and worked as a stagehand at the Estonian National Opera for seven years. From 1998, he has been residing in the USA. From 1998\u20132001, he studied at Charleston University in South-Carolina where he acquired a bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology. From 2002\u20132004, he was engaged in master\u2019s studies at Villanova University and from 2005\u20132010 in master\u2019s studies at the University at Buffalo.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe has a master\u2019s degree in both clinical and experimental psychology. He works at the University at Buffalo, doing research on dependences and related factors.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaanim\u00e4gi\u2019s first book, the collection of stories Televisiooni m\u00f5ju<\/em> (\u2018The Influence of Television\u2019) appeared in Estonia in 2017. The story collection speaks about everyday affairs: childhood games, falling in love, home and parents, embarrassing but funny incidents. The indirect aim of the book is to create a link in readers between the distant and the near, the big and the small. The description of life and the setting alternates with social comments and psychological analysis; love gives way to the absurd, pain to liberating laughter. The stories in the book are so short that they can be classified as miniatures or jokes rather.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second book Kolimise laastav m\u00f5ju<\/em> (\u2018The Devastating Influence of Moving House\u2019) appeared in 2018. Jaanim\u00e4gi\u2019s second collection consists of short stories which nearly always concentrate on a curious or pathetically funny incident or apply a specific formal solution. Characters in the stories are few and they are sketchy; the stories often end with a twist. Through the characters who may or may not be different aspects of the author, the reader experiences the numbing routine of workaday life and the storms in it.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaanim\u00e4gi\u2019s short story Ajaliku elu r\u00f5\u00f5mud<\/em> (\u2018The Pleasures of Temporal Life\u2019) was published in the collection Eesti novell 2020<\/em> (\u2018Estonian Short Stories 2020\u2019).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
