Tiina Laanem (real name Tiina Laanem-Murde; born 10 September 1974) is a prose writer.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLaanem acquired secondary education in Tallinn, studied accountancy at L\u00e4\u00e4ne-Viru College and public administration at Tallinn University of Technology. She has worked at the Estonian Maritime Administration, as a reporter and editor in the press and at Pegasus Publishing House. Laanem is a member of the Estonian Union of Directors and Dramaturges, the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union (from 2020) and the Estonian PEN-Club.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHer debut novel V\u00e4ikesed vanamehed<\/i> (\u2018Little Old Men\u2019, 2007), written in an entertaining journalistic style, won the Estonian novel competition in 2006. Concentrating on male characters who have reached the middle age, it weighs human relations against the background of the present-day welfare society. The book, which can be defined as a summer vacation novel, was staged by the Ugala Theatre in 2010 as a summer production. The action of the novel Sidrunid ja siilid<\/i> (\u2018Lemons and Hedgehogs\u2019, 2009) also takes place at present, but the portraits of characters deserve more attention here than the setting. The novel Pildilt kukkujad<\/i> (\u2018Falling from the Picture\u2019, 2016), which won the A. H. Tammsaare literary award, is deeper and more panoramic in time. By describing choices and failures in life, it deals with the story of a family throughout 20th-century events, starting from the 1930s and reaching the present. The eponymous play premiered at the Vanemuine Theatre in 2015. Ties between generations also occupy an essential place in the play N\u00e4htamatu maja<\/i> (\u2018Invisible House\u2019) which premiered at the Endla Theatre in 2012. The play won a special mention at the playwriting competition of the Estonian Theatre Agency in 2011.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor children, Laanem has written the books Mina, Meg ja meie klass<\/i> (\u2018I, Meg and Our Class\u2019, 2019) and Kollase kassi komando<\/i> (\u2018Yellow Cat\u2019s Command\u2019, 2020). The action of both takes place at the present time, being centred on primary-school children.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
