Кучета под индиго

Tommy, sceptical and ironic, drifts through life in the south-eastern corner of Europe at the start of the twenty-first century, expecting little and asking little beyond the old questions: where do we come from, what are we, where are we going? A born teller of stories from the socialist years, an urban hippie intellectual with clear values, he is thrown by how unclear those values have become both before and after 1989. Now in his thirties, he has come to terms with his age and wants to turn from a perpetual failure into at least half a success. His wanderings take in bars, dog pounds, Chinese restaurants, dark neighbourhoods and rented holes, and touch on anger, money, dependence, emigrant fates and the campaign that forced Bulgaria's Turks to change their names.
