After the novel "Time Shelter" British readers can get acquainted with another book by Georgi Gospodinov - "Physics of Sorrow". It is now published for the first time in the UK, alongside his 80-page memoir. In an interview for The Guardian newspaper, Georgi Gospodinov said that ‘’a novel does not have to be a train moving from point A to point B- it can branch off, just like our thinking’’.
Asked what’s Bulgaria like as a place to write, Georgi Gospodonov said: ''For me, it is a place that is alive with stories that are mostly untold because of the culture of silence that comes from communist times, when it was safer not to say what you think’’. Georgi Gospodinov said that his first publications coincided with the years after 1989, which were filled with energy and a sense of community, like a carnival.
