Simo Matavulj (Serbian: Симо Матавуљ, 14 September 1852 – 20 February 1908) was a Serbian writer.[1]

He was a representative of lyric realism, especially in short prose. As a writer, he is best known for employing his skill in holding up to ridicule the peculiar foibles of the Dalmatian folk.

He was an honorary member of the Matica srpska of Novi Sad, the first president of the Association of Writers of Serbia, president of the Society of Artists of Serbia and a member of the Serbian Royal Academy.

Legacy

Nobel prize winner Ivo Andrić called him "the master storyteller".[2]
