Arvi Kork (real name Arvi Tinits; 2 December 1927 \u2013 1 April 1997) was an exile Estonian prose writer.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKork was born in Peningi parish, Harjumaa County, and attended school in Tallinn. In 1944, he was conscripted to the German Air Force auxiliary service. In the turmoil of the war, he found himself in Germany where he continued his studies at the Estonian gymnasium in L\u00fcbeck, thereafter at the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration University in Munich. Later, Kork studied at Stockholm University and the Ryerson Institute of Technology in Toronto. He held various jobs, including at the Estonian Service of the Voice of America, as the managing editor of the newspaper Vaba Eestlane<\/em> and as a policeman in Toronto. Kork died in Toronto where he was also buried.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKork started publishing fiction in the late 1950s. His first novel Neli musket\u00e4ri<\/em> (\u2018Four Musketeers\u2019, 1957), like the novels Tammiraijujad<\/em> (\u2018Breakers of Dams\u2019, 1966), Armud l\u00e4inud, armud j\u00e4\u00e4nud<\/em> (\u2018Loves Gone, Loves Remained\u2019, 1968) and Relvalood<\/em> (\u2018Arms Stories\u2019, 1971), have an autobiographical background describing the fate of the author and his generation peers in Europe and Canada after World War II. The criminal novels T\u00e4navakuningad<\/em> (\u2018Street Kings\u2019, 1963), Sulid ja v\u00f5mmid<\/em> (\u2018Crooks and Cops\u2019, 1973) and R\u00f6\u00f6vlijahil<\/em> (\u2018Hunting for Robbers\u2019, 1976) depict the author\u2019s work in the police. The typical features of Kork\u2019s books are dynamic narration, lively dialogue and colourful characters.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe book of memories V\u00e4lgum\u00e4rgi kasvandikud<\/em> (\u2018Fostered by the Badge of Lightning\u2019, 1982) describes the fate of the conscripts of the German Air Force auxiliary service.\n<\/p>\n
