Dionis Bubani (September 18, 1926 – February 10, 2006) was an Albanian writer, playwright, humorist, and translator.[1] He is one of the first professional playwrights which emerged after World War II in Albania.[2]

Life

Dionis Bubani was born in

Radio Tirana.[3]

After World War II, his father would be arrested and imprisoned by the notorious

dactylographer for the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this time he had started writing. With the demise of Xoxe, some of the victims of the Special Court received partial rehabilitation. Dionis started collaborating for the journals and magazines Letrari i ri ("The new literary") and Rinia ("The youth"), while in 1946 he started publishing in Hosteni, the most known Albanian satirical magazine. There he became later chief-editor. He also collaborated with the "Estrada e Tiranës" ("Tirana's Comedy Theater).[5]

Dionis studied philology in the

Skender Luarasi, Ismail Kadare, etc. In 2005 he published an autobiography.[5]
