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.
- He is not from Hungary. He was born in Serbia. Vanjagenije 15:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
[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.
--Actually, no. Kish specifficaly asked to be burried in the Serbian Orthodox rite, with Serbian Orthodox priest. I don't think that anyone who considers himself "Yugoslavian" would ask for such a thing. To call him a Yugoslav is a nonsense.
--Actually yes, and you gave the answer. You consider him Serbian because of the burried rite (i.e. just Orthodox can be Serbians. Albahari is Serbian, but you have to label him as a Jew...ummm the same as the Nazis, when considering non Germans citizens born in Germany who spoke German and who felt Germans....). That was just a rite. His writings, his biography and his foundation consider him a Yugoslav writter. A pope, a nationalist or an ignorat cannot contradict that.--91.143.221.231 19:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
One who is born in Serbia, and spent whole his life in Serbia, and wrote in Serbian language, must be a Serbian writer. "Of Jewish origin", OK, but still Serbian writer. Vanjagenije 15:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
