Borivoj Radaković
Borivoj Radaković was born in 1951 in Zemun, Serbia. He graduated in literature in Zagreb, where he lives and works. One of the founders of the Festival of Alternative Literature. A prose and stage writer, author of the novels Sjaj epohe and Virusi, stories Ne, to nisam ja, essays and travelogues Sredina naprijed and drama Plavi grad. His drama trilogy about Zagreb was staged at the Kerempuh theatre. He translated W. S. Burroughs, J. Kerouac, J. Barnes and H. Kureishi. The novel Što će biti s nama, writes Jutarnji list, impresses with “linguistic knowledge and skill,” “a use of living language and slang, archaisms and English words, neologisms and dialect words, linguistic differentiations of sociological groups and, of course, verses, resulting in the main storyline taking place in language itself.”
