• Description

  Extract from the Birth Book: The Story of Danilo Kiš The Biography of Danilo Kiš by Mark Thompson is an exceptionally written work, a caring and sensitive account of the life of a man who experienced some of the greatest atrocities of the last century. Obsessed with writing, politics and the independence of art from politics, a passionate anti-communist and anti-nationalist, Danilo Kiš was a man of liberal views and strong emotions. He was a kind of ethnic anomaly, a secular half-Jewish gnostic, a creature surrendered to instincts, a bohemian whom only his vocation could make orderly. From the conflict with himself and the society to which he belonged, Kiš distilled four or five unsurpassed books, writing and correcting them in solitary rapture, condensing them to the extreme, he became “a genius of a specific time, experience and place.
