edit data

Bojan Babić is a Serbian writer whose work moves fluidly between satire, surrealism, and sharp social commentary. He studied Serbian and World Literature at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade and received the Borislav Pekić Foundation Award for his novel Girls, Be Good—a fragmented, daring narrative that marked his emergence as a distinctive literary voice.

His published works include:

PLI – PLI (1996), short stories

Noises in Prose (2003), poetic prose

Stories About Happiness (2008), short stories

World Literature Today on the novel "Illegal Parnassus"

IT TAKES INGENUITY to write a novel combining a reckoning with the place of one's birth and an homage to a great architect who was never there.
