In front of a packed room of literary connoisseurs at the iconic Rizzoli Bookstore in New York, Booker laureate Angela Rodel presented her translation of the novel The Case of Cem, one of Vera Mutafchieva's best-known works.


The Consul General of Bulgaria in New York, Angel Angelov, took part in the presentation and the subsequent discussion. Our diplomatic mission gave the guests the opportunity to taste first-class Bulgarian wine.

On the eve of the event, Georgi Gospodinov, with whom Angela Rodel shares the Booker prize for the novel Time Shelter, wrote on his Facebook profile: "And yet the doors open... And this is the natural way."


Angela Rodel is about to present the English translation of the novel The Case of Cem in several other places in the USA - at Columbia University, in Yale, Boston, Minneapolis, Chicago and Washington, DC, informs the Consulate General of Bulgaria in New York.
