Branko Bokun
Branko Bokun (
Serbian Cyrillic: Бранко Бокун; 28 June 1920 – 1 January 2011) was an author in the fields of sociology and psychology.[1]
Early life
Bokun was born in
Ustashi in the so-called Independent State of Croatia against its citizens, the Serbs, Roma and Jews.[4]
Bokun graduated from the University of Rome in 1945 and went on to attend the Sorbonne University in Paris, taking courses in sociology and social psychology, and graduating in 1949.[5] In Paris he at one time supported himself by working as a dishwasher.[6]
Life in England
In 1960 Bokun settled in London, United Kingdom,[7] where he remained for the rest of his life. After his death at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on 1 January 2011, an obituary in The Times described him as "a beguiling Balkan boulevardier, author and anecdotist, and for half a century a familiar figure in the cafés and bookshops of Chelsea."[8] He left a son and two grandchildren.[9]
