popular musician and TV presenter. Has played and sung in many bands; currently among the best known TV faces and radio voices in Estonia. Despite an impressive literary background (Mihkel’s father Eno Raud, mother Aino Pervik and sister Piret Raud have influenced our children’s literature, and his brother Rein Raud has written several acclaimed philosophical works), Raud actively took to literature only recently, when he caused an outcry both in cultural and wider audiences with his outspoken and daring book of memoirs Musta pori näkku (Black Mud in Your Face, 2008). The book’s remarkable success in bestseller charts and with the critics is seen as proof of the increasing popularity of memoirs at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. | |
