Meša Selimović
After his release, he moved to liberated territory, became a member of Communist Party of Yugoslavia and the political commissar of the Tuzla Detachment of the Partisans.That episode apparently affected Meša's later contemplative introduction to Death and the Dervish, where the main protagonist Ahmed Nurudin fails to rescue his imprisoned brother.[8] Bosnian autobiographer Aida Bajraktarević has stated that a part of the Selimović family converted to Islam in order to "protect their Christian brethren".Since perception of national belonging is distinctly subjective and simplistic, auto-perceptions are considered discursive creations, representamen, where memoirs overlap with socio-historical context.[8] Critics consider this to be a rationalization of his choice to seek recognition as writer belonging to Serbian literary circle,[15][14] by claiming that his paternal heritage was that of Orthodox Christian identity,[16][17] alleging a conversion to Islam back in the 17th century for pragmatic reasons.[15] The chapter Parents in his Sjećanje provoked reaction and criticism in his native country,[8] and will be deemed a "constructed phantasm", or imaginary discourse."[19] The next novel, Tvrđava (The Fortress, 1970), placed still further in the past, is slightly more optimistic, and fulfilled with faith in love, unlike the lonely contemplations and fear in Death and the Dervish.
