Milica Janković

Milica Janković (Požarevac, 23 November 1881 - Niška Banja, 27 June 1939) was a Serbian writer of prose and verse.

She graduated from high school in Veliko Gradište and both the then-Philology secion of the Philosophy college (future Philology College, with Russian major) in 1904 and the art school of the University of Belgrade in 1907 (with some courses taken at Munich).

Her chief work is Ispovesti ("Confessions"), a collection of modernist short stories.

"Characterized by a clear, lively, flexible style, Ispovesti is undoubtedly the most original Serbian book of 1913.

So much love, tenderness and warm understanding of suffering humanity is to be found only in one other place: The Bible.
