Some smuggle cigarettes or alcohol, others weapons, but for
renowned Bulgarian novelist Georgi Gospodinov, the most dangerous
contraband is carried by writers, who surreptitiously move stories
across borders. In The Story Smuggler, Gospodinov explores how
smugglers, writers, and translators are all involved in
transporting whatever may be desired, valued, missing, repressed,
or forbidden. There's a melancholic tone here, as Gospodinov's
exploration focuses on his childhood in Communist Bulgaria and on
the fantasies of other lives and places that this childhood
engendered. Accompanying the text are drawings by award-winning
Bulgarian animator and graphic artist Theodore Ushev, adding a
further layer to its exposition of border-crossing.
