Biography
Danojlić published his first poems in 1954, while his first independent book "Urođenički psalmi" was published in 1957.[1] He was a lecturer on the Serbo-Croatian language at the University of Poitiers from 1977 to 1978.[2]
Danojlić was a selected artist of the Fulbright program Artist-in-residence at the UMass Amherst from 1980 to 1981.[3][4]
In 1982, he was a founding member of the Committee for the Protection of Artistic Freedom (Odbor za zaštitu umetničke slobode), together with Biljana Jovanović, Dragoslav Mihailović and others. Since 1984, he alternately lived as a freelance writer in Paris and Belgrade, and worked as occasional freelance associate at Radio France. In 1989, he was a member of the Founding Committee of the Democratic Party (together with his writer colleagues Borislav Pekić, Gojko Đogo and Dušan Vukajlović), which was the first Yugoslav opposition and non-communist party since 1945.[5][6]
Danojlić published more than 70 books of fiction and poetry in the Serbian language. His most famous books are: Neka vrsta cirkusa (Some kind of circus); Lične stvari - ogledi o sebi i o drugima (Personal things - reflections on yourself and others) and Balada o siromaštvu (Balad on poverty).
Danojlić was a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts from 2000, and president of the Serbian Literary Guild since 2013.[7]
Danojlić was married to Sanja Bošković (born in Sarajevo, living in France since 1988), and was the father of two sons (born 1992 and 1993).[8][9][10]
