Compiler: Nevena Dishlieva-Krasteva. ... This is a collection of stories about our fathers who, although physically gone, are nevertheless always present. These poetic essays deliver a book about life, death, and loss; about happiness, which is always intimately personal; about life's fundamental lessons and the communication between generations. Besides drawing a dispersed but convincing portrait of life from the years of World War II through the Cold War era to the beginning of the twenty-first century, the stories included in the anthology are also of great literary quality and artistic value. And though they offer ... |

Юбилеен сборник в чест на проф. д.ф.н. Нонка Богомилова. Съставители: Силвия Кръстева, Антоанета Николова. ... "Цялата пъстра палитра и човешкото богатство на житейско дело на проф. Богомилова провокира идеята да намерим отзвука и рефлексията на създаденото от нея в начинанието на този сборник. Отначало идеята много трудно намери съгласието на проф. Богомилова. С присъщата си скромност тя се съпротивлява доста дълго, но накрая нашата упоритост и решимост я убеди да се впуснем в това начинание. И тогава започнаха да идват прекрасните текстове в този сборник! В обхвата на авторите и на разноликия отзвук на темите ... |

За невидимия живот на нещата около нас, за фантазиите на късните следобеди, когато и малките и големите са готови да измислят игри. Какво ще стане, ако... се съберат диван и крокодил, костенурка и шкаф, книга и сладолед, камила и чайник... Някои ще си кажат "чао и сбогом", други ще си пожелаят мухоежи, крокодивани и камилочайничета, които миришат на лайка с мед. Играеща книга, измислена, когато Рая още няма 6, а баща ѝ е на 7 пъти по толкова, че и отгоре. Книга, ... |

Баща ми беше градинар. Сега е градина. Историята на един баща, един син и едно последно разсъмване - милостива и безмилостна едновременно."Тази книга няма лесен жанр, трябва сама да си го изобрети. Както смъртта няма жанр. Както животът. Както градината. Роман елегия, роман градина, мемоар или мемороман - има ли значение за ботаниката на тъгата. История за отиващите си бащи в един отиващ си свят. За тези трагични пушачи, често отсъстващи, вкопчени в шнорхела на цигарата, плуващи в други води и облаци. За баща ми, който крепеше на раменете си тонове минало и не спираше да го разказва. Тази Шехерезада - баща ми. Сега ... |

"За човек, който обича света от вчера, този роман не беше лесен. Той се разделя с една мечта по миналото или с това, в което то се превръща. Писах (и трих) за смесването на времена, когато паметта, лична и обща, си събира багажа и си тръгва. За новата обсесия на Гаустин и дискретното чудовище на миналото, което идва срещу нас. За времеубежищата, които строим, когато сегашното не ни е вече дом." Георги Господинов "Безкомпромисен роман! Георги Господинов влиза сам в гората..." Надежда Радулова И тогава миналото тръгна да завладява света... В началото залогът е една клиника, в края - един континент. ... |
