During the 1990s, Stevanović was among the intellectuals who resisted Milošević's policies and consolidation of power.[2] This resulted in Stevanović living in exile.[4] He lived in Paris but briefly returned to his home country in 1996. In 2004 he left Paris and went to Sarajevo. In 2007 he returned to Kragujevac.[2]
Stevanović published his first and only collection of poems, Trublje in 1967, in Belgrade. His second book was a collection of stories, The Scum of Death, published in 1969. Two years later he brought out his first novel, Nišći, followed two years later by Konstantin Gorča. These were followed by two-story collections, Suburban Dragons (1978) and The Cesarean Section (1984), which was awarded the Andrić Prize.
Perhaps his most popular work is the novel The Will for which in 1987 he received the Serbian Nin Literary Award.
