I recently met a Bulgarian couple, and we got to discussing Bulgarian literature, as I had just read Georgi Gaspodinov’s Time Shelter. They recommended Kapka Kassabova to me, and I borrowed a couple of her books from the library. From the back cover of this one: “Border is an immersive travel narrative that is also a shadow history of the Cold War, a sideways look at the migration crisis, and a witchy descent into both interior and exterior geographies.” I’m fifteen pages in, and I think I’m going to like it a lot.
