Biography[edit]
He was born on 29 November 2000 in Niš, in a poor Roma family. He grew up with an illiterate mother, who collects secondary raw materials, while he never met his father. He spent time with his brother on the streets of Niš and begged. After his mother left him, he changed three foster families until he was twelve years old, when he was placed in the "Duško Radović" Home for neglected children.
Without knowing how to read and write, thanks to his will power he managed to change his life. He graduated from high school with remarkable notes. After becoming legally old enough, at the age of 18, as the law stipulates, he had to leave the home. He started working in construction and got by with the help of friends.

Bibliography[edit]
- The city of pain is a novel dedicated to children without parental care and other "lucky" children. It is a poignant, cinematically dynamic, romanticized, autobiographical story about growing up on the street, living in a home for neglected children and growing up as a child in the harshest social conditions. The novel was nominated for the NIN award for 2020.[2]
- City of Sin is a novel that is a continuation of the first one, where the author, through a difficult and very emotional story, explains how a poor Roma family overcomes obstacles with a constant struggle for survival. In a somewhat poetic style, he talks about himself through the character of Amiraga, a guy who, intoxicated by success, flew high and fell low, but only for a short time. He found himself and discovered love within himself. The story captures the emotion and pain of life.[3][4]
- Waltz of the Rejected brings us freshness and uniqueness - a story that begins quite ordinary, and ends somewhat unusual; a hard story about a boy named "Shaol" eternally torn between the extremes of his being: harmony and chaos, work and laziness, exaltation and lust, between desire and impotence. Shaol, whose other name is basket Shaol, who feels fatigue and emptiness. A hero who becomes a gigolo, lecherous and promiscuous. The hero who wins the heart of the rude courtroom from the coffee Cook in court. The fire of love. Last Waltz and music, the magic of pure joy. The extinguished glow of youth. With imprinted pain from childhood, he is eager for the beauty of real things, but also burdened by unimportant things (material and social status) and left to different emotions and roles in life. This is a story about closeness, loneliness, the eternal search for meaning. About the authentic exchange of true values through a relationship with his friend Kolja, about the realization of love with the judge Sandra, who defeats all his dark inner urges, about the pain suffered by a wounded body on the road to love, and an even more wounded soul at the end of that road. With personal experiences and a lot of fiction, I take you to the World of passion and sadness, but also to the regions of light and heights. You are invited to move into the hero's warmth and anxiety and feel the breath of life and the hard talk from the concrete that will take you to the third world, or some other dimension.[5]
