Talk:Danilo Kiš

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Echo has identified Danilo Kiš as a foreign language featured article. You may be able to improve this article with information from the Serbian language Wikipedia.

It would be good to give here in this article the translation of titles of books that Kis wrote. Shukalo83

Danilo Kis was certainly not a montenegrin writer. Just because his mother came from a montenegrin family, it doesn`t mean he is of the same nationality. Kis is actually a pannonian Jew from Hungary. So I changed that. It is best to call him a writer from ex-Yugoslavia, as the part where he came from and where he lived (apart from Belgrade and Paris) is Vojvodina/Serbia.

[edit] he can not be serbian writer!!!

only ex-yugoslavian

- - - Well, if you are from Serbia, you might very well be a serbian writer...Kis was born in Subotica (near the hungarian border), wrote in the serbian language and lived in Serbia for quite a long time. So even with a jewish/hungarian background, he is a serbian writer. David Albahari, for example, is jewish, but nevertheless, he is definitely a serbian writer. To satisfy all those obstinate fellows here, I will change the first line of the article into "...a famous writer from Serbia (Yugoslavia)".--80.133.239.90 14:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] he only is a yugoslavian writer

To honor the memory of Kis I think it would be best to call him a yugoslavian writer, not a serbian, jewish or montenegrin. And that simply because he allways said, that he doesn't want to be placed in one of those categories (see e.g. Homo poeticus). and like he said himself: I am the last yugoslavian writer, so I think that is what we should call him as well.
