His literary works are widely acclaimed for their dramatic dimension, philosophical treatment, and critical attitude towards history, politics, and society.
Despite these challenges, Apolloni persisted in his academic pursuits and by 2008, he had attained the title of Master of Philological Sciences, demonstrating his dedication to scholarly achievements.
His guests have included the likes of Linda Hutcheon, Jonathan Culler, Rita Dove,[2] Gottfried Helnwein, Andreas Huyssen, DM Thomas, Javier Cercas,[3] Ann Jefferson, Peter Singer, Stephen Greenblatt, Stanley Fish, and David Damrosch.
Apolloni's works have been translated into several languages, including English, Dutch, German, Czech, Romanian, Slovenian, Macedonian, and Montenegrin.
In this work, he combines pain with fury through a postmodern form, critiquing various aspects of life, including himself, family, society, and God.
Following 'The Howl of the Wolf,' Apolloni penned the novel 'Zazen' as a homage to a friend who, disillusioned after completing Philosophy studies and failing to find work in his homeland, chose to disappear and commit suicide.
While Apolloni's plays evoke fear and compassion, his poetry transforms intimate life into art, and his prose exudes awe and rage.
[10] Apolloni's second novel Zazen was released in 2014 and explores the plight of a young Kosovar, a friend of the author, who faces tragedy upon returning to his homeland after graduating.
The narrative delves into the anxiety and tragicomic life of the protagonist, Zen Zabel, portraying a character with abundant ideas, minimal demands, and limited possibilities.
In 2020, Apolloni released his third novel, Glimmer of Hope, Glimmer of Flame, a documentary novel about the real life tragedy of two Kosovar mothers from Gjakova after the war of 1999: one lost her whole family - her husband and four sons - and continues to wait for them more than twenty years later; the other burned herself to death after the remains of two of her sons were returned to her.
The novel discuses the ill-fortunes of war and the painful consequences of peace, similar to ancient Greek tragedy, but with twentieth century human horrors; it explores the meaning of motherhood, family, and home.
The book begins with a provocative dedication titled 'My Friend's Wife', with two verses from English poet John Milton, It contains six sections: Overture, Edenic Waltz, Dionysian Sonata, Siren Symphony, Requiem Eros and Coda.
It is a book that contains many elements of all kinds of western music; from world cinema; from ancient, medieval, modernist, and contemporary literature; and also, from religions such as Buddhism, Totemism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
"The Sandals of Seneca" (2020) is an itinerary poetic book written after the poet's visit to the historical and cultural sites in Greece, Italy, France, Austria, and Germany.
[17][18] The book consists of 10 essays, all with Latin titles: Obscura, Vulgus, Doctrina, Pelegrin, Allegoria, Persona, Schisma, Templarius, Inquisitio and Memento.
