Гризли. Нови разкази

Thirty-six very short stories, most of them under two pages, and two prose poems. The author likes to wander the backstreets of Sofia without aim, talking to strangers and listening to their lives, and many of these pieces are real stories turned into fiction; a few people turn up in more than one of them. Old age and transience run through the book: houses that once held families now stand empty and crumbling, and the stories grieve for a past in which there was still hope. Half in jest, the author offers the collection as a creative-writing manual and challenges the reader to sort its eight very good stories from the twenty-eight good ones.
