Mihkel Kunnus (born 23 February 1982) is an essayist and critic.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKunnus was born at Uhtna (L\u00e4\u00e4ne-Viru County), attended school at Kaarepere (J\u00f5geva County) and N\u00f5o Secondary School of Science (Tartu County), studied chemistry at the University of Tartu and also acquired a MA in semiotics and cultural studies there. He has worked as a schoolteacher and university lecturer and is now opinion editor of the Postimees<\/i> newspaper. He is a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 2012. He received the annual award of the cultural weekly Sirp<\/i> in 2010 and under the pseudonym Elli Soolo in 2012; in the same year he also earned the title of Tartu Kultuurikandja (\u2018Tartu Culture Bearer\u2019).<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKunnus became known as a critic of literature and culture and columnist in the 2010s. He stands out with his idiosyncratic, erudite, argumented and sometimes radical (non-stereotypical) standpoints. He has defined his worldview as conservative. Essays and reviews have been gathered into the collections Minu eugeenika saladus: kultuurieugeenilisi koode<\/i> (\u2018The Secret of My Eugenics: Cultural Eugenic Codes\u2019, 2012) and Roheline s\u00fc\u00fc<\/i> (\u2018Green Guilt\u2019, 2014) which include treatments of Estonian literature and various social themes. An essential role in Kunnus\u2019 frame of mind belongs to rationality and morality; one of his characteristic stylistic devices is paradox. <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
