Biography

Milorad Pavić was born in Belgrade, Kingdom of Yugoslavia on 15 October 1929 to a distinguished family of intellectuals and writers{{sfn|B92|30 November 2009}} "that has produced well-known writers for six generations, since the 18th century".[1] He received a Bachelor of Arts in literature from the University of Belgrade, and later obtained a PhD in literary history at the University of Zagreb.{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=605}}

Pavić entered the literary scene with two collections of poetry titled Palimpsests ({{lang|sr|Palimpsesti}}), and Moon Stone ({{lang|sr|Mesečev kamen}}), published in 1969 and 1971, respectively. Pavić's poems were soon translated into English, and included in the anthology titled Contemporary Yugoslav Poems. Soon after, Pavić dedicated himself to writing prose and several short story collections were published.{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=605}} Pavić's first and most famous novel, Dictionary of the Khazars ({{lang|sr|Hazarski rečnik}}), was published in 1984. It received widespread critical acclaim upon release, and was hailed as "the first novel of the 21st century."{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=224}} Written as a poetic dictionary, the book has been described as "a quasi-historical account of the semi-imaginary tribe of the Khazars."{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=605}}

Pavić's second novel was titled Landscape Painted with Tea, and was published in 1988.{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=604}} Organized as a crossword puzzle, it follows a failed architect from Belgrade as he travels to Greece to trace the fate of his father who disappeared there during World War II. Pavić wrote many more novels, including The Inner Side of the Wind, or A Novel of Hero and Leander and Last Love in Constantinople: A Tarot Novel of Divination. Described as "highly imaginative", Pavić is said to have "[done] everything to disrupt the traditional models of fiction writing such as the development of story and the notions of beginning and end."{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=605}} He was described as being "one of the most intriguing writers from the beginning of the 21st century."{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|pp=604–605}} As a result, he was mentioned several times as a potential candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature.{{sfn|B92|30 November 2009}}

Apart from writing, Pavić taught philosophy at the University of Novi Sad before joining the University of Belgrade.{{sfn|The New York Times|16 December 2009}} In 1991, he became a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU). During this time, he translated a number of works of Russian fiction into the Serbian language.{{sfn|B92|30 November 2009}} In 1993, he published his first and only play, titled Theatre Menu For Ever and a Day.{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=605}}

Pavić died in Belgrade on 30 November 2009, at the age of 80. His death came as the result of a heart attack.{{sfn|B92|30 November 2009}} He was survived by his wife, Jasmina Mihajlović, and by his son Ivan, and his daughter Jelena.{{sfn|The New York Times|16 December 2009}} Pavić was buried in the "Alley of the Greats" at the Novo Groblje cemetery complex in Belgrade.{{sfn|B92|3 December 2009}}

Works

Originally written in Serbian, Pavić's works have been translated into more than thirty languages.{{sfn|The New York Times|16 December 2009}} Pavić was renowned for his highly imaginative fiction, and his novels diverged from traditional literary notions by means of an open-ended structure and the entwining of the mythic and historical.{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=223}}

Dictionary of the Khazars

Dictionary of the Khazars was Pavić's first novel and it acquired international success. Written in 1984, it is a lexicon-format novel which follows the story of the semi-fictional tribe known as the Khazars. In it, the Great Khan of the Khazars has a dream that is nearly impossible to interpret. To shed some light on it, he summons representatives of the world's three great religions: a Christian, a Jew and a Muslim. He asks the three to explain the dream, promising that the entire Khazar tribe will convert to the religion which provides the most convincing explanation. The three scholars subsequently provide three dictionaries: one Christian, one Jewish and one Muslim. This trilogy presents three different versions of the story, and in effect it produces the novel itself.{{sfn|Sollars|Jennings|2008|p=223}}
