Author Radovan Karadzic could not be present at the launch party for his new novel in Belgrade on Monday . . . because he is on the run from two counts of genocide filed against him by the U.N. war crimes tribunal at The Hague. Yes, that Radovan Karadzic, says this report in The Guardian. It says he “was once a minor celebrity in the literary world of the Balkans. That was in the 1980s before he was catapulted to notoriety over his role as president of the Bosnian Serbs as the Yugoslav Federation fell apart.” His new book, The Miraculous Chronicle of the Night, was turned over to his publisher by intermediaries, while he is reportedly “somewhere in the remote mountains of eastern Bosnia or his native Montenegro.”
