Tadej Golob (born 1967) is a Slovene mountaineer and writer.
Golob was born in Maribor in 1967 and grew up in the small town of Lenart v Slovenskih goricah in northeastern Slovenia. He moved to Ljubljana to study journalism but never completed his studies. He worked as a contributor to various magazines, but is known in Slovenia chiefly as an alpine climber.[1]
In 2010 Golob won the Kresnik Award for best novel with his debut novel Svinjske nogice (Pigs' Legs).[2] It is a witty story of an aspiring comics artist looking for inspiration, trying to make ends meet and coping on the margin with a non-existent career, his family and society. The title refers to the lead character's attempt to master the art of tattooing by practicing on pigs' legs.[3]
