Abdulah Sidran
Abdulah Sidran (October 2, 1944 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), often referred to by his nickname Avdo, is a Bosnian writer and poet[1] who is renowned for his screenplays and dramas.[2]
Works
His major works include Šahbaza, Bone and meat, The Sarajevo tomb (Sarajevski tabut),[3] Why is Venice sinking (Zašto tone Venecija),[4] several books of poetry, and screenplays for award-winning movies from the Former Yugoslavia, such as the Oscar-nominated When Father Was Away on Business and Do You Remember Dolly Bell?, directed by Emir Kusturica;[5] and Kuduz and The Perfect Circle, directed by Ademir Kenović.[6] His opus is characterized by a soft and soothing sensibility, where tragedy, meditativity and a specific and humorous irony change sides and play tricks on each other more often than not.
After spending most of his life in Sarajevo, Sidran recently moved to a small village near Goražde where he currently lives.
