'''Vladan Matijević''' ([[Serbian Cyrillic alphabet|Serbian-Cyrillic]]: Владан Матијевић; born 16 November 1962 in [[Čačak]], [[SFR Yugoslavia]]) is a [[Serbia|Serbian]] writer and poet.
==Life and Work==
[[Vladan]] [[Matijevic (surname)|Matijević]] worked for eighteen years as an [[engineer]] in a chemical [[Base (chemistry)|base]] factory after completing his university education. Since 2005, he has been working at the ''[[Nadežda Petrović]] Gallery'' in his native town, where he still lives in a suburb today. He said in an interview with the Austrian newspaper [[Der Standard]] about himself that he ''tries to write as little as possible''. Nevertheless, he has already created a considerable and well-respected literary work, which has been discussed in more than fifty reviews and essays of Serbian literary journals. Many of his much sold novels have been published for several times in Serbia, his internationally most successfull novel ''Moments of Joy'' has been published in French, Spanish, German, Italian and Macedonian translation. In 2011, a collection of four short stories has been published as a multilingual edition in Albanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Romanian. In the same year, he was an invited participant of the ''Salon international du livre de [[Québec]]'' and the [[Leipzig Book Fair]]. In 2014, an English edition of his novel ''Very Little Light'' has been published by Geopoetika publishing in Belgrade. Matijević is multiple laureate of some major [[literary awards]] of Serbia and he is considered as one of the most important contemporary authors in his country. In 2016, the writer [[Aleksandar Gatalica]] had a half-hour conversation with Matijević in a broadcast of the program series ''Literary Dialogue'' (Književni dijalog), which has been recorded for [[Radio Television of Serbia|RTS]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2OakgQQ Official website] of Vladan Matijević, retrieved on 2018-09-24.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2PZGtOv Biography] on the website of Geopoetika publishing, retrieved on 2018-09-24.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2O7d87B Interview] of the newspaper Der Standard, retrieved on 2018-09-24.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2PTVelS Report] of [[Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph]], retrieved on 2018-09-24.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAN_89bVkxU Književni dijalog] on [[YouTube]], retrieved on 2018-09-24.</ref>

„''Since the second half of the 20th century, there are graduate marketing professionals in all areas of life. Advertising has become the greatest need of each person, it does not know any toothpaste to use, nor any food to eat, nor in what bed it wants to sleep until it is explained to the person by an advertising expert. I notice that today it is especially important that is something inexpensive. And that's why everything became cheap. Such are our lives as well. Soon they will also go on sale. With the emergence of the internet, the phenomenon of advertising has reached its peak.''"<ref>[https://ift.tt/2OaklE8 Interview] of [[Vreme]], retrieved on 2018-09-24.</ref>
