About this person
Sreten Božić, known by his pen name B. Wongar and Bozic Wongar, was a Serbian writer who lived in Australia. For most of his literary career, the concern of his writing was the condition of Aboriginal people in Australia. His 1978 short story collection, The Track to Bralgu, was released to critical acclaim by the foreign press, who were led to believe by publisher Little Brown that Wongar was of Aboriginal ethnicity. The revelation that Wongar was a Serbian immigrant, as well as inconsistencies in his life story, subsequently led to controversy and allegations of literary hoax and cultural appropriation, particularly in Australia.
