description: "Janko Polić Kamov was a Croatian novelist, playwright, writer, and poet. Although his oeuvre is small due to his short life, he is considered a significant writer in Croatian literature. Emblematic of the contemporary anger and displeasure over the hypocrisy and injustice of his time. His magnum opus is considered to be his modernist novel Isušena kaljuža, which contains the psychosexual and spiritual conflicts of the iconoclastic narrator, later described as a proto-existentialist. The novel, described as the premier Croatian avant-garde major work of prose, was printed for the first time in 1956, nearly forty-six years after Polić Kamov's death. Because of that, he earned a reputation as one of the greatest rebels and iconoclasts in the history of Croatian culture."
