“Bulgaria past and present, its magical fables, absurdist realities and political exigencies, are presented through the eyes of homesick emigrés and those who have remained. Penkov’s stories combine toughness, vulnerability and bravado…he applies humour and compassion in equal measure: this is a sparkling collection.” (Guardian )
