Ćamil Sijarić (18 December 1913 – 6 December 1989) was a Yugoslav[1] novelist and short story writer. He enrolled in law school in 1936 and earned his degree four years later. Sijarić died in a car crash at the age of 75. His literally work introduced region of Sandžak and it's rural Bosniak population into Yugoslav literature.[2][3]
He was born in Šipovice,[1] near Bijelo Polje, in the Kingdom of Montenegro, to Muslim parents. He was of Albanian origin on his mothers side, and he considered Albanian to be native to him.[4] Both of his parents died while he was a child.[5] He was raised thereafter by his aunts and uncles.
His first literary work was Ram-Bulja (1953), which he first wrote in Albanian but then later translated and first it in published Bosnian. It was thereafter re-translated into Albanian shortly after because, according to Sijarić, the characters there themselves can be seen as Albanians.[8] His most acclaimed work is the novel Bihorci (1955).
He spent most of his life in Skopje, Belgrade and later, Sarajevo, where he died in a car accident in 1989. However, almost all his major works are about Sandžak and the Bihor region around Bijelo Polje. His works have been translated in more than a dozen languages, including Russian, German and French.[9]
Sijarić perished in a car crash in Sarajevo, shortly before his 76th birthday in December 1989.[10]
Not long before his death, Sijarić wrote a poem called Znam (I Know), which appears to show him foreshadowing his own death:
Znam
I Know
Znam da se u ovu kasnu jesen U prekasnu jesen na Šipovicama šipci crvene. Da hoće vjetar bar malo – bar malo, njihove boje nanijeti na mene, na ruke, na lice – jer vidim da se ove jeseni posljednji put za mene crvene šipci iz Šipovica
I know that in this late autumn in this very late autumn in Šipovica, the rose hips redden If only the wind would – even a little Spread their colors over me on my hands, on my face – For I see that this autumn the rose hips in Šipovica will redden for me for the last time
Three schools bear the name of Ćamil Sijarić, in Sarajevo, Novi Pazar, and Nemila. Several cities—including Brčko, Novi Pazar, Podgorica, Tutin, and Nova Varoš—have streets named for Sijarić. In Novi Pazar, the Pero Ćamilo Sijarić literary prize is awarded, and in Bijelo Polje there is a Day of Remembrance for Ćamilo Sijarić. A fountain was built in his memory in his native village of Šipovice.[11]
