''A Tomb for Boris Davidovich'' (Serbo-Croatian: ''Grobnica za Borisa Davidoviča / Гробница за Бориса Давидовича'') is a collection of seven short stories by Danilo Kiš written in 1976 (translated into English by Duska Mikic-Mitchell in 1978). The stories are based on historical events and deal with themes of political deception, betrayal, and murder in Eastern Europe during the first half of the 20th century (except for "Dogs and Books" which takes place in 14th century France). Several of the stories are written as fictional biographies wherein the main characters interact with historical figures. The Dalkey Archive Press edition includes an introduction by Joseph Brodsky and an afterword by William T. Vollman. Harold Bloom includes ''A Tomb for Boris Davidovich'' in his list of canonical works of the period he names the Chaotic Age (1900–present) in ''The Western Canon''.〔Bloom, Harold. ''The Western Canon'' New York: Harcourt Brace & Co, 1994. 527.〕 The book was featured in Penguin's series "Writers from the Other Europe" from the 1970s, edited by Philip Roth. ==Plagiarism controversy==
The book was the subject of a long and tedious plagiarism controversy, one of the most famous literary scandals in Tito's Yugoslavia. The controversy about the nature of the "borrowing" continues to this day. In particular, Kiš was accused of plagiarising "7000 days in Siberia" by Karlo Štajner.〔http://www.e-novine.com/intervju/intervju-kultura/88659-Danilo-posljednji-jugoslavenski-pisac.html〕 Kiš wrote a book titled "The Anatomy Lesson", written in 1978, in which he defended his methods (which included verbatim quotations of full passages with no attribution) as legitimate, and launched harsh personal and professional attacks on his critics.〔http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article1324835.ece〕 In 1981 a book "Narcis bez lica" by eminent Yugoslav critic Dragan M. Jeremic, was again devoted to in-depth analysis and literary criticism of ''A Tomb for Boris Davidovich'', in which the case for plagiarism has been made again by comparing originals and Kiš' prose in detail. Numerous papers have been published on this topic since; in 2005, a book "Lazni car Scepan Kis" by Nebojsa Vasovic again takes a fresh new look on the controversy.
