T\u00f5nis Tootsen (born 17 October 1988) is a poet, prose writer who mainly writes science fiction and fantasy, and designer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTootsen has attended school in Tallinn and studied semiotics at the University of Tartu. He has acted as a translator and designer, done audio and video editing, edited the radio programmes of \u00d6\u00f6\u00fclikool<\/em> (\u2018Night University\u2019) and books. His father is journalist and writer <\/span><\/span><\/span>Toivo Tootsen<\/a><\/span><\/span> (born 1943), his half-brother \u2013 journalist and film director, author of the popular radio programme \u00d6\u00f6\u00fclikool<\/em> Jaan Tootsen (born 1975).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tT\u00f5nis Tootsen\u2019s debut book Esimene p\u00e4ev<\/em> (\u2018The First Day\u2019, 2016), which received the Literature Endowment Annual Award (free award), depicts a postapocalyptic world, life in Estonia in 2034. The novel has been written by hand, scanned and post-processed. The result is a book, each copy of which is unique in its artistic vision and design. The novel Ahvide pasteet<\/em> (\u2018P\u00e2t\u00e9 of the Apes\u2019, 2022, the European Union Prize for Literature in 2023), the title of which refers to Pierre Boulle\u2019s science-fiction classic Planet of the Apes, also belongs to the realm of fantasy. It takes a crooked look at the present-day world through the eyes of an ape. The narrative of the book is presented as a manuscript written by the ape Ergo, which has been deciphered and rewritten by Tootsen. As the background to this socio-critical novel, the Estonian history from the 1980s to the 2000s can be discerned. Visions of future Estonia are also created in the prose collection Nukumeister<\/em> (\u2018The Puppet Master\u2019, 2012).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2021, Tootsen published a poetry collection Uttu<\/em> (\u2018Into the Mist\u2019).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
