Review: East of the West: A Country in Stories

East of the West: A Country in Stories by Miroslav Penkov
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a small, but very tiresome book. It's not even that it's poorly written, on the contrary. But there is something wrong with this "perspective" of Bulgaria. Remember Stanislavski? So, I don't believe the author. There are interesting characters, but they are as far from real people I can relate to as possible. And the author doesn't make any effort to explain them.
