Teet Kallas

After a few short prose texts and writing youth literature, his debut novel, Nii palju päikest, was released in 1964.

In 1965 and 1966, Kallas was a literary editor on Estonian television, before he was employed by the editorial office of Looming from 1968 to 1970.

It appeared only after the end of Soviet rule in Estonia in 1990 in a revised and expanded two-volume edition: "The novel is the typical description of a 'lost generation', their dreams and ideals loses and perishes itself, and as such was a post-1968 document.

Its failure to appear in the early 1970s, however, was more attributable to the laziness of the author than censorship, for internal criticism was by no means devastating or insurmountable.

In addition, he translated prose from Russian (Vasily Aksyonov, Alexander Grin) and from English (Stephen King).
