prose-writer, author of more than twenty books. Kallas has written himself into Estonian literary history with colourful novels, the occasionally magic atmosphere of which forms a contrast to the oppressive era, in which these novels were created. In the afterword of his novel Heliseb-kõliseb ... (Jingle-Jangle ...), first published in 1972 and reissued a couple of years ago, journalist and poet Juku-Kalle Raid writes: „the occasional fun, playfulness and naivety described in the novel had been long gone from the society.“ At present when the bare magic wand of the Soviet society has also been long gone, Teet Kallas writes the script for the very popular TV series Õnne 13 that depicts fictional life in Estonia. | |
