At Radio Bulgaria Milka Dimitorva reports that there are More than 200 exhibitors at Sofia International Book Fair, which runs through the 15th.
Among the odd/interesting titbits: the mention of Thrown into Nature-Milen Ruskov's: "Elevation which won the special Elias Canetti prize and took theatres by storm". A novel which takes theatres by storm ?
Anyway, Ruskov's new novel sounds interesting -- Възвишение in the Bulgarian original; see the Жанет45 publicity page -- and I'm pleased to hear about this Elias Canetti Prize, with which I was unfamiliar.
It's administered by the city of Ruse -- Canetti's birthplace -- and while it's nice they honor a hometown success in this way .... guys, he wrote in German. Anyway, see also the official site with the list of previous winners.
