🇲🇪Montenegro

Born in Sarajevo and connected with Ulcinj, Nikolaidis illustrates the region’s cross-border literary life. His Montenegrin prose combines detective fiction, religious history and apocalyptic unease. For a wider view, compare his fiction with Spahić’s Hansen’s Children, set in a Romanian leper colony. Knežević follows a woman’s life between Montenegro and exile. Anomaly takes Nikolaidis’s black humour towards an imagined end of the world.
