La rage d'écrire : Miodrag Bulatovic

Jean Antoine meets the Yugoslav writer Miodrag Bulatovic, author of ‘Le Coq rouge’, ‘Le loup et la cloche’ and ‘Le Héros à dos d'âne’. The writer talks about his studies, the war, life on the move, the literature that helped him, his need to dream and the pleasure of storytelling. He draws parallels between his characters and the Montenegrins, the violence of a hard life. He evokes the meaning of life, blood, freedom and love for his country. He talks about the situation of Yugoslav writers, the importance of poetry and short stories. He talks about the trial for breach of contract of his novel ‘Le Héros à dos d'âne’, his books translated abroad, and his play ‘Godot has arrived’.
