The writer Georgi Gospodinov will be a guest at the Spring Book Fair today. He will meet his readers from 18:00 p.m. at the Janet-45 publishing house stand in front of the National Palance of Culture (NDK).

Over the past day, pictures have emerged of people waiting patiently in line outside the publisher's stand to buy his novel, "Time Shelter". Hours after the news that it won the "Booker" International Literary Prize, the book was out of stock in bookstores in Sofia.

"Georgi Gospodinov in the refuge of time" is part of the documentary series of the public television "BNT Presents" and will be broadcast on May 31 at 9:00 p.m. The film was shot even before Gospodinov was on the long list for the Booker Prize. and the director is Pavel G. Vesnakov.
