Quotations: “I am ... an author who is displaced and fights literally for his literary survival. One cannot be really accepted as a writer in another language, but one can surely try to remain faithful to one’s own beliefs that language is a creative force, whether it be English, Italian, or Croatian.”
Mario is a member of Croatian Writers’ Union (from 1968); Scientific Committee, Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Napoli (Italy).
Susko has a wife, Maria. They have two children: Klea, Alexandria.
