Born Apr. 17 (30), 1900, in Muraste, now in Harju Raion, Estonian SSR. Soviet Estonian writer. People’s Writer of the Estonian SSR (1972).

Krusten’s collection of stories Heather was published in 1927 and was followed by novels and novellas that were limited to explorations of psychological problems.

His later writings include the plays I Live (1956) and The Americans Have Arrived (1959), the collections of short stories Funeral of the Knout (1957) and In Search of Spring (1960; Russian translation, 1962), the novel Like a Drop in the Sea (1962; Russian translation, 1964), the collection of verse and miniature sketches luka (1963), and the short-story collection Five Stories (1968).
