\n\tAbout Olev Remsu<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Olev Remsu<\/span><\/span> (name at birth Remsujev, b. 1 XI 1947) is a prose writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born and educated in Tartu, including the faculty of economics at Tartu State University from 1966 to 1967 and the faculty of history and languages from 1967 to 1972, graduating as a journalist. From 1979 to 1982 he attended higher courses for film script-writers and directors in Moscow. \u00a0He has worked, among other jobs, as a laboratory assistant at Tartu State University, as a senior researcher at the Eduard Vilde and A.H. Tammsaare Memorial Museum, has edited animated films at Tallinnfilm, been a travel guide, and also lectured at the University of Tallinn, the Estonian Academy of Art and the Viljandi Academy of Culture. He was chairman of the Wellesto cultural association from 1988 to 1998, and was one of those writing collectively under the pseudonym Ene H\u00f6lderlin. He has been a member of the Writers\u2019 Union since 1988. He has been awarded the title of Best Book of the Year for the work Elu Moskvas <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Life in Moscow\u2019, 1991) and received the annual award of the Writers\u2019 Union for Tartu- & Praha-m\u00e4lestused <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Memories of Tartu and Prague\u2019) 2 (1992) as well as the essay prize of the Literature Endowment of Estonia (1993). He won the prose award of 1998 of the Literature Endowment for Haapsalu trag\u00f6\u00f6dia <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Haapsalu Tragedy\u2019) I (1998), and in 2013 the A.H.Tammsaare Literature Prize for Supilinna poisid <\/span><\/i>(\u2018The Boys of Supilinn\u2019, 2012). His novels have been short-listed in novel competitions and his play President <\/span><\/i>(\u2018The President\u2019) in the 2017 Estonian Theatre play competition.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe prolific author\u2019s creative path began with the school almanac Sulesepad <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Pensmiths\u2019, 1966). In 1976 the short novel Homne karikakar <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Tomorrow\u2019s Daisy\u2019) appeared, followed in 1981 by the novel Lapsep\u00f5lvest Malleta <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Childhood Without Malle\u2019). His earlier work is focused on the contemporary scene and depicts the world of young people and students, surveying the development of one generation in Soviet reality. The Tartu of his youth, the conditions of those times, his companions there and distinctive characters are pictured in the Supilinn series: Supilinna poisid <\/span><\/i>(2012), Supilinna surmad <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Deaths in Supilinn\u2019, 2012), and Supilinna armastajad <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Lovers of Supilinn\u2019, 2013). It is typical of Remsu to intertwine memoir material with literariness, as for example in the works Elu Moskvas <\/span><\/i>I and Tartu- & Praha-m\u00e4lestused, <\/span><\/i>which play with the boundaries between memoirs and short stories.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRemsu interprets historical events and personalities in literary form in several novels and plays; for example, the novel Haapsalu Trag\u00f6\u00f6dia<\/span><\/i>, intended as a three-volume work\u00a0<\/i>(I 1998, III 2000) deals with the world of Estonian Swedes in the late thirties and forties, built up from the diary entries of a protagonist called Erik Norrmann. He has written the play T\u0161ingis-khaan on Ungern-Sternberg <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Genghis Khan is Ungern-Sternberg\u2019, 1997) and the novel Bura\u0161evo hullud <\/span><\/i>(\u2018The Madmen of Burashevo\u2019, 2019) about the vicissitudes of Estonia\u2019s first president, Konstantin P\u00e4ts, when held captive in Burashevo hospital after the annexation of Estonia in 1940.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTravel books occupy and important place in Remsu\u2019s work. The author has spent a lot of time travelling and writing about travelling; a significant place is occupied by his travel books on Russia, in which contemporary descriptions intermingle closely with recollections, such as Rongiga maailma l\u00f5ppu. Tallinn \u2013 Moskva \u2013 Vladivostok: reisikiri piltide ja m\u00e4lestutega <\/span><\/i>(\u2018By Train to the End of the World. Tallinn \u2013 Moscow \u2013 Vladivostok: A\u00a0Travelogue With Pictures and Memories\u2019, 2009) or Minu Neenetsimaa <\/span><\/i>(\u2018My Nenets-land\u2019, 2010), published in the popular Petrone Print \u2018Minu\u2019<\/span><\/i>\/\u2019My\u2019 series. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe has also written film scripts, and literary and film criticism. A selection of his writings from 2000 to 2015 is presented in Aja kirju: selle sajandi kirjutisi <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Letters from Time: Writings from This Century\u2019, 2016).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
