Колкото до Шотландеца

The Scotsman is a gifted painter who stopped painting long ago and is allergic to work. He gets married, looks for a job, dreams words, makes the rounds of his favourite bars and tries to sell one picture, wanting only money and love, though he would rather talk and build castles in the air than do anything to get them. Around him swarms a crowd: Beni, a journalist and philologist who can't stand Bulgaria; Sonya, a pharmacist who paints silk scarves; Stefan the Social with his Zaporozhets; Dr Pesheva and her tight-fisted husband; Aunt Rita, who wakes at three every morning to worry through a list. Add an academic and a professor, a flying cat and a floating dog, politicians and patriots, and a mysterious Chinese saying the Scotsman keeps turning over.
