name: Marko Vidojković
about: Marko Vidojković is Serbian novelist of young generation, distinguished for his "straight-to-the-face", punkish attitude both in his novels and in public appearances. His novels, told in direct and often obscene language, are placed on the streets of Belgrade, portraying lost and angry young people, drowned by lack of understanding and hypocrisy of the society.Vidojković's popularity exploded with his fourth novel, Kandže (The Claws). Its story revolves around a character who's a law student and a fanatic participant in 1996/1997 protests in Serbia. At the same time he meets a love of his life (which turns out to be a post-modern fairy rather than a real person). The book received "Kočić's Quill" and "Golden Bestseller" awards.
