Förlagets information

A brilliant, mind-expanding collection of short stories from the author of the Booker Prize-winning Time Shelter

A man and a woman, who have only known each other for a few hours and must soon part, sit in an airport cafe and invent an entire shared life together.

A girl born with two different eyes - one seeing only the past and the other only the future - strives for the unattainable now.

Late at night a father conspiratorially hangs laundry between two cherry trees in a tiny Bulgarian town in the 1970s and sets off a series of events that will turn absurdly historic.

A woman on a train passing through the poppy-filled Central European countryside waves at everyone she passes, unaware that a single gesture can ripple through another's life like fate.

A lonely drifter on a snowy New Year's Eve sees himself mirrored in a shop window TV, every move presumably watched by unseen millions and a world that had forgotten him.

A celebrated connoisseur of sunsets returns to the town where his absurd, lucrative career had begun to witness the world's very last dying of the light.

From the International Booker Prize-winning Georgi Gospodinov, comes a collection of his finest short stories - each with one eye on the past, one on the future; an ear for the crucial detail that everyone else is missing; and the ability to reveal the ever-changing, ever-beautiful world as you have never seen it before.

Translated from the Bulgarian by Angela Rodel.
