Božin Pavlovski

Božin Pavlovski (Macedonian: Божин Павловски) is a Macedonian, Australian, and known European novelist translated in more than twenty languages, who has lived in Australia for the past three decades, is in the prime of his creative life. He is a novelist–mediator between two cultures whose novels interpret the binary logic by which his characters are both “here” and in the country in which they were born or originate from. In his latest novel 'Gardener, Desert’ (2015) Pavlovski transmits through a Romanesque lens his vision of the transnational, cosmopolitan, multilingual and hybrid map of the world.

He was born in Žvan, Demir Hisar, Macedonia on January 7, 1942. He has lived in former Yugoslavia and United States, and has been based in Melbourne, Australia since 1990. Pavlovski studied literature at the University of Skopje and graduated in 1971. For over thirty years he was editor and publisher of world literature in former Yugoslavia. Since 1989, he has divided his time as a professional novelist traveling between Europe and Australia.

Bozin Pavlovski’s novels, particularly those he has written since he has adopted Australia as his second homeland, unveil the phenomena of reterritorialized cultures, and describe the meetings, conversations and thoughts of two and sometimes more cultures, communities and languages which exist in a single space. Pavlovski’s novels can be said to be a part of a transnational literature which has an increasing importance in a contemporary world whose significant characteristics are those of dislocation and relocation, and from where stems his writing between histories, geographies and cultural practices.

Bozin Pavlovski is a member of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts since 1988.
