Danilo Kis was born in Subotica, Danube Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now Servia) on 22 February
1935. He was a
Yugoslav novelist, short-story writer and poet who wrote in Serbian. Kis was influenced by Vladimir Nabokov, Jorge Luis Borges, Ivo Adris, among other authors. He left Belgrade for Paris in the summer of 1979.
In 1983 he published The Encyclopedia of the Dead. During this period in his life, Kiš achieved greater global recognition as his works were translated into several languages. After feeling weak for several months, Kiš was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer in September 1989. He died a month later, on October 15, 1989. Kiš was 54 at the time of his death, the same age that his father had been when he was sent to Auschwitz. (Based on Wikpedia)
