Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov will receive the Order of Art and Letters - Knight degree, at a ceremony this evening at the residence of the French ambassador in Sofia. In this way, the country pays tribute to an outstanding author and European humanist, whose remarkable works in translation won many readers in France, the French Embassy pointed out.
