Danilo Kiš (; 22 February 1935 – 15 October 1989) was a Serbian novelist, short story writer and poet who wrote in Serbo-Croatian, member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Kiš was influenced by Bruno Schulz, Vladimir Nabokov, Jorge Luis Borges, Ivo Andrić and Miroslav Krleža,〔(Razgovor sa Danilom Kišom ). youtube.com〕 among other authors. His most famous works include ''A Tomb for Boris Davidovich'' and ''The Encyclopedia of the Dead''. ==Life and work== Kiš was born in Subotica, Danube Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now Serbia). He was the son of Eduard Kiš ((ハンガリー語:Kis Ede)), a Hungarian-speaking Jewish railway inspector, and Milica (née Dragićević) from Cetinje (now Montenegro). His father was born in Austria-Hungary with the surname Kon, but changed it to Kis as part of Magyarization, a widely implemented practice at the time. During the Second World War, Danilo's father along with several other family members, were killed 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, Yugoslavia, where Kiš graduated from high school in 1954. Kiš studied literature at the University of Belgrade, and graduated in 1958 as the first student to be awarded a degree 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''. For his 1973 novel ''Peščanik'' (Hourglass), Kiš received the prestigious NIN Award, but returned it a few years later due to a political dispute. During the following years, he received an array of national and international awards for his prose and poetry. Kiš lived in Belgrade until the last decade of his life, when he lived in Paris as well Belgrade. For a number of years he worked as a lecturer elsewhere in France. He was married to Mirjana Miočinović 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 ''Peščanik'' (''Fövenyóra''), directed by the Hungarian Szabolcs Tolnai, was finished in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Hourglass (2007) )〕 In May 1989, with his friend, director Aleksandar Mandić, Kiš made the four-episode TV series ''Goli Život'' about the lives of two Jewish women. The shooting took place in Israel. The program was broadcast after his death, in the spring of 1990. This was the last work by Kiš. Kiš's work was translated into English only in a piecemeal fashion, and many of his important books weren't available in English until the 2010s, when Dalkey Archive began releasing a selection of titles, including ''A Tomb for Boris Davidovich'' and ''Garden, Ashes''; in 2012, Dalkey released ''The Attic'', ''Psalm 44'', and the posthumous collection of stories ''The Lute and the Scars'', capably translated by John K. Cox. These publications completed the process of "the Englishing of Kiš's fiction",〔 allowing the possibility of what Pete Mitchell of Booktrust called a resurrection of Kiš.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danilo Kiš」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
