Memoirs of Trauma Halfway between History and Literature: Dragoslav Mihailović

Dragoslav Mihailović’s experience in a concentration camp only appears in his literary works in 1990, with the publication of the first volume of Goli otok, a collection of testimonies from former inmates of the camp on the Adriatic Island. The autobiographical introduction to the first volume of Goli otok written by Mihailović differs from the documentary approach of the volume, enabling an analysis of the relationship between literary writing and the processing of trauma.
