What is his Game? Some Observations on Mati Unt’s Later Works

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Unt’s oeuvre of the 1990s and 2000s, with the main focus on his novels Öös on asju (Things in the Night, 1990) and Brecht ilmub öösel (Brecht will appear at night, 1997) and the keyword “game”. The article investigates whether Unt’s later works, described in his time as complicated and confusing, really differ so much from his earlier period as far as the themes and focus are concerned. In addition, the article makes an attempt to map the relationship between Unt and postmodernism, which is by no means clear. Although Unt seems to have been fond of postmodernist techniques, the internal undercurrents of his texts fail to be captured by postmodernist keywords.
