Gruban Malić is a fictional character and the anti-hero in Miodrag Bulatović's novel Heroj na magarcu ili Vreme srama (Hero on a Donkey).[1][2] Scholar Vasa D. Mihailovic has described the character as a "tragicomical anti-hero" and is "a combination of Don Quixote and Soldier Schweik, without the sad resignation of the former and the wisecracking of the latter."[3]
Malić received media attention due to a 1995 hoax that began with Yugoslavian war correspondent Nebojsa Jevric began telling an American journalist about a war criminal by the name of Gruban Malić, who had committed the most rapes while serving as a guard at the Omarska camp.[1][2][4][5] After this point news of Malić continued to travel and culminated in Judge Richard Goldstone and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia including the character on a list compiled by the of Serbian war criminals.[4] After the list was made public the hoax was quickly detected but the charges against the character were not dropped until 1998.[4] Jevric later published a book about the hoax entitled Hero on a Donkey Goes to The Hague.[4]
