David Albahari (b. 1949) is a Serbian writer who has lived more than 10 years in exile in Canada. He went into exile because the former Yugoslavia was torn apart by ethnic war. Albahari left the country in 1994, at the peak of the conflict, and from 1995 to 1997, he wrote three books which are known as his "Canadian Circle novels": Snow Man, 1995; Bait, 1996; Darkness, 1997. Displaced and far away from his country, Albahari examined in his new novels how place and history impacted personal identity. Moreover, he argued against the negative-though prevalent-discourse about the Balkans, seeing instead in his war-torn homeland a universal historical and cultural conflict.
