\n\tAbout Peeter Puide<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Peeter Puide (b. 11. X 1938) is a writer and translator of Estonian origin who writes in Swedish.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born in P\u00e4rnu. His interest in literature evidently originated with his parents. His father, the forestry specialist Edgar Puide, was a school friend of Uku Masing. Peeter Puide\u2019s mother Maret Puide was friends with Betti Alver. In autumn 1944 the mother and son escaped to Germany, the father to Sweden. After not knowing about each other\u2019s fate and a difficult period, the family was reunited and stayed in Sweden. Peeter Puide had Tomas Transtr\u00f6mer as a schoolmate there. After graduating from university, he worked as an advertising consultant and a copywriter, and managed two well-known advertising schools. He was the owner of an advertising agency.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1981 he published his first poetry collection in Swedish. Subsequently he has written prose as well as poetry. Peeter Puide\u2019s literary style is polished and individual. In his novels he uses Modernist features, such as collage, whereby the action happens in several times and places in parallel. Puide\u2019s language is aware and considered, expressing himself precisely and bringing forth the particular weight of words. The subjects of his work are wide-ranging and their consistent thread is an interest in Estonia and its history. In some of his works Puide touches on contentious facts and events, doing it with internal conviction and consistency.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe has translated a lot of contemporary Estonian poetry and prose into Swedish (by Juhan Viiding, Elo Viiding, Viivi Luik, Mati Unt, Emil Tode \/ T\u00f5nu \u00d5nnepalu, Paul-Eerik Rummo, Jaan Kross, Ellen Niit, Betti Alver, Artur Alliksaar, Uku Masing, Aare Pilv, fs, Kristiina Ehin, Doris Kareva, J\u00fcrgen Rooste, Maarja Kangro, Kalju Kruusa, Marje Ingel and others).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo the Estonian public Puide is known chiefly because, since the late eighties, he has been researching and publishing material that demonstrates the participation of Estonians in the annihilation of the Jews during the German occupation. Puide\u2019s activities in this field have caused sharp controversy in Estonia.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union and of the Swedish PEN Club.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
