Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov
First Bulgarian to be honored with International Booker Prize
Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov translated by Angela Rodel has won the International Booker Prize.
Time Shelter is the first book translated from Bulgarian to win the Prize.
It is nice to see a new language entering the Booker ranks. Translations from small languages help to make us aware of how many different perspectives there are in the world. Maybe, eventually, that will make the world more peaceful, although things are not looking great at the moment.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
