Marko Pesic is a young prolific novelist from Belgrade, Serbia. His debut novel, Ivica Vode, has been met with critical acclaim, followed by nominations for book of the year, the NIN literary award and others. 

Marko applies a dark, satirical and quick-witted style to his storylines, often set amid the grime of the late 90s and early 2000s. Dreamy and nostalgic, Pesic paints deeply human stories that are universally relatable, while interweaving unique views of pop culture and politics colored by an upbringing in a country plagued with civil unrest.
