Translated from the Serbo- Croatian by Michael Henry Heim. 199 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Cathy Saska. keywords: Literature Translated Yugoslavia Eastern Europe . FROM THE PUBLISHER - What makes THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE DEAD unique is the way it depicts human relationships, encounters, landscapes-the multitude of details that make up a human life, it records everything. After all, nothing in the history of mankind is ever repeated, things that at first glance seem the same are scarcely even similar; each individual is a star unto himself, everything happens always and never, all things repeat themselves ad infinitum yet are unique. Such is the majestic tome in the title story of Danilo Kis's new collection. In the Encyclopedia, housed in an icy, dungeon-like Swedish library, a bereaved daughter reads through the night the entry about her father, an ordinary Yugoslav. His whole life is set out: every fish caught, every plant ever picked; the lyrics of songs, the text of a love letter; a romance with the sea and, at the end, a sudden passion for painting flowers. The style of the Encyclopedia-'an unlikely amalgam of encyclopedic conciseness and biblical eloquence'-is also Danilo Kis's, and this volume is his Book of the Dead. In each of the nine stories, or entries- whether the account of Simon Magus's revolt against the divine order, of the lavish funeral accorded a prostitute in 1920s Hamburg, of the execution of the Hungarian aristocrat Esterházy, or of the fate of the lost correspondence of the Yiddish poet Mendel Osipovich-love alone is as immutable as death. Danilo Ki (February 22, 1935 - October 15, 1989) was a Yugoslavian/Serbian writer of Hungarian/Jewish - Serbian origin. Danilo Ki was born in Subotica, Danube Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the son of Eduard Ki (Kis Ede), a Hungarian Jewish railway inspector, and Milica Ki (born Dragicevic) from Cetinje, Montenegro. In that time all Montenegrins concidered them to be Serbs. During World War II, he lost his father and several other family members, who died in various Nazi camps. His mother took him and his older sister Danica to Hungary for the duration of the war. After the end of the war, the family moved to Cetinje, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, where Ki graduated from high school in 1954. Ki studied literature at the University of Belgrade, and graduated in 1958 as the first student to complete a course in comparative literature. He was a prominent member of the Vidici magazine, where he worked until 1960. In 1962 he published his first two novels, Mansarda and Psalam 44. Ki received the prestigious NIN Award for his Pe canik ( Hourglass') in 1973, which he returned a few years later, due to a political dispute. During the following years, Ki received a great number of national and international awards for his prose and poetry. He spent most of his life in Paris and working as a lecturer elsewhere in France. Ki was married to Mirjana Miocinovic from 1962 to 1981. After their separation, he lived with Pascale Delpech until his early death from lung cancer in Paris. A film based on Pe canik (Fövenyora) directed by the Hungarian Szabolcs Tolnai is currently in post-production. Ki was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and was due to win it, were it not for his untimely death in 1989. Originally published in Serbo-Croatian as Enciklopedija mrtvih, 1983 - Globus. inventory #11935.
