Ľudovít Didi was born in 1931 in Púchov. In the school year 1951/1952 he started to study at the University of Political and Economic Sciences in Prague, but he was expelled from his studies because of his uncommon views. In 1963 he graduated from the Pedagogical Institute in Nitra. In 1980 he signed Charter 77. He was rehabilitated by the District National Committee in 1990 and later became the director of the Children's Home in Koliňany. He began his literary activity in 2001. He published his first work, the novel Tales Hallowed by the Wind, at the age of seventy-three in 2004. In 2008, his next literary work, Gypsy's Omen, was published. His novel The Black Roma and White Love (2012), in which he depicts the life peripeties of the protagonist Gejza, a Roma man who falls in love with a non-Roma girl, Marika, presents a more composed narrative. His last novel with autobiographical elements, Rom Tardek and His Fate, was published after the author's death (2013).
The town of Vráble awarded Ľudovít Didi the 2014 Vráble Town Award In Memoriam, and in 2023 a memorial plaque was unveiled in the town. In 2023, President Zuzana Čaputová awarded him the Ľudovít Štúr Order of the Third Class In Memoriam for his extraordinary merits for democracy and its development, human rights and freedoms.
