The Modern Novel

Biography

Andrej Nikolaidis was born in Sarajevo in 1974. Accordingly Wikipedia calls him a Bosnian author. However,his father was a Montenegrin from Ulcinj and the family moved there when the war broke out after the break-up of Yugoslavia. The three books of his translated into English are all set in Montenegro, so I have called him Montenegrin.

Nikolaidis became very active in politics, supporting Montenegrin independence and human rights. He was active in both print and TV journalism and, as a result of his views, received death threats. He has been involved in various political feuds, particularly with the actor Emir Kusturica. Three of his novels are available in English.
