This is a sparse official website feed for Bulgarian novelist Georgi Gospodinov, sharing announcements about his U.S. tour, literary prizes for Death and the Gardener, and an honorary doctorate from INALCO in Paris. Issues are short press-style notices rather than essays, so readers get news about the author's career rather than analysis.
