| Begun in 1976, Residua is collection
of notes, essays, stories, diary entries, tales, vignettes, parables,
poems, fables, maxims, quotes, jokes, and aphorisms, as well as the
addenda that extend all of the above. At first, the writings were
collected at the end of the year into books and shared with friends
and acquaintances around the world. Collections of writings extending
over all years appeared in print on several occasions, the last time
in 1996. Many of these writings were published since 1976, most often
as selections on a particular theme.The writings trace the author's
life. He writes and paints. He has taught for many years both in
the United States and the United Kingdom. He was born in Zagreb in
1946 and grew up in Belgrade, where he lived from 1948 to 1970, when
he went to Cambridge, Massachusetts, for graduate studies. He also
lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Reading, England. |
