Diplomirao je i magistrirao (filmolgija) na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Kratke priče počinje objavljivati početkom 1970-ih godina 20. stoljeća u prvom valu tzv. fantastičara (Zavjera kartografa i Praška smrt), da bi se postupno opredijelio za žanrovsku prozu. Kritika je odmah uočila Tribusona kao najtipičnijeg predstavnika hrvatskih borgesovaca koji prvi među brojnima u toj struji postiže punu autorsku zrelost. Postupno napušta fantastiku, ali zadržava interes za srednjoeuropsku ikonografiju i težnju prema okultnome, što se očituje u njegovim romanima Snijeg u Heidelbergu, Čuješ li nas, Frido Štern (u cjelokupnom autorovom opusu jednom od najboljih njegovih djela), te Ruskom ruletu.

Klaus Mann

Born in Munich, Klaus Mann was the son of German writer Thomas Mann and his wife, Katia Pringsheim. His father was baptized as a Lutheran, while his mother was from a family of secular Jews.

Mann's most famous novel, Mephisto, was written in 1936 and first published in Amsterdam. The novel is a thinly-disguised portrait of his former brother-in-law, the actor Gustaf Gründgens. The literary scandal surrounding it made Mann posthumously famous in West Germany, as Gründgens' adopted son brought a legal case to have the novel banned after its first publication in West Germany in the early 1960s. After seven years of legal hearings, the West German Supreme Court upheld the ban, although it continued to be available in East Germany and abroad. Th

Dennis Potter

Dennis Christopher George Potter (17 May 1935 – 7 June 1994) was an English dramatist, best known for The Singing Detective (1986). His widely acclaimed television dramas mixed fantasy and reality, the personal and the social. He was particularly fond of using themes and images from popular culture. Such was his reputation that he convinced BBC 2 and Channel 4 to co-operate in screening his final two works, written in the months he was aware of his impending death.

Potter's career as a television playwright began with The Confidence Course, an exposé of the Dale Carnegie Institute that drew threats of litigation. Although Potter effectively disowned the play, it is notable for its use of non-naturalistic dramatic devices (in this case breaki

Then a humpback whale breached onto me when I was kayaking, this led to a life-changing adventure culminating in my becoming involved in efforts to use AI to translate the communications of whales! I wrote about this for my first book.

My great passion was always reading and in becoming a writer I get to go deeper and more playfully into my favorite parts of filmmaking – following heroic and fascinating people on their adventures, reading hundreds of complicated scientific papers, and finding ways to connect these.
