Natural Novel
Gospodinov's debut novel, an experimental story of a young writer in post-communist Bulgaria.
Zornitsa Hristova’s English translation came out from Dalkey Archive Press in 2005. The novel made Gospodinov internationally known and has been published in 21 languages. The New Yorker called it an anarchic, experimental debut, and The Guardian described it as both earthy and intellectual. Gospodinov followed it with The Physics of Sorrow and Time Shelter.
