Danilo

On the 15th of October 1989 Danilo Kiš (1935-1989), the last great Yugoslav writer, died in Paris. We rembered him with a comment by the bosnian writer Božidar Stanišić: "Kiš's work has survived the hyper-production of pseudo-literature, it belongs to the library of the world, it has resisted the most terrible challenges of the 21st century, especially the relativisation of the concept of art and the dominance of technology and social media."
