Autorenporträt
BORISLAV PEKIĆ (1930-1992) was born in Podgorica, Yugoslavia. Arrested in 1948 for terrorism, armed rebellion, and espionage after the theft of a few typewriters and mimeographs, Pekic spent five years in prison, where he began to write. He worked as a screenwriter and editor of a literary journal before publishing his first novel at age thirty-five. Constant trouble with the authorities led him to emigrate to London in the early 1970s. His novels include The Houses of Belgrade (1994) and The Time of Miracles (1994), both published by Northwestern University Press. He died of cancer in 1992 in London. STEPHEN M. DICKEY is an assistant professor of Slavic linguistics at the University of Virginia. He co-translated Mesa Selimovic's Death and the Dervish (Northwestern, 1996). BOGDAN RAKIĆ is a visiting associate professor of Slavic Literature at Indiana University. He co-translated Mesa Selimovic's Death and the Dervish (Northwestern, 1996) and edited In a Foreign Harbor (Slavica, 2000). He is currently working on Borislav Pekic's literary biography.
