Graphic Art by Vasil Ivanov (1909-1975)

Definitely old school, like between 50's and 70's, very heavily influenced by the style of art popular in the country at the time. I love it for the window in time it gives us, and for the unique vision of the artist and the time which shaped it. Works with scale differential, high tonal contrast, and dukes of juxtaposition of soul and matter. Lovely! *** 4.50 ***

Beating the Air by Velko Miloev.
Really loved the concept! Loved the whole thing really, but I benefited from being familiar with Bulgarian expressions, because they seemed to be translated very literally, thus making the prose a bit clumsy in English... Very little things, but a big difference in the flow of thought. I will rate on substance though, so *** 4.75 ***

The Last Interview of Adam Sousbe by Lyuben Dilov

I understand what the author was trying to do, putting a very political statement in a fictional future, thus making a point of gender inequality and the extremes it could lead to, and I even enjoyed the way it was presented in the interview format, but something was missing. Not sure what, and I think some might have been lost in translation... * 3 *

The art of Dimitar Yankov is very pleasant and somehow calming, maybe it has to do with the color pallet he uses, warm but with chilly shades coming through. The shapes let your mind make out of them what it chooses and only gently suggest a familiar form or intention. Overall, I would give it *** 4.25 ***

I hate Hugh and the bitch who sacrifices people for nefarious purposes... ! So angry at the system which permits slavery for people who can't pay their debts! But the story has gotten me very fascinated 😀

The old witch needs not only be killed in the most painful and prolonged way possible, but her spirit needs to be in a perpetual state of tortured anguish! 😠😬😈

I don't particularly like how much cheating and desiring of friends ' lovers goes on in this book... How can we believe that when they say they are in love, they really mean it? ghhhhhrrrrrr!!!

Why is this book making me so angry and disgusted with Humans as a whole??? Why does it remind me so strongly of US under the current administration and all those people on either side ready to trample over their core values only so they can "win" for the day???

Very surprising. For a tad bit I thought this was a YA, but now I am totally convinced that it is written for middle graders. I wish I had known, so I could go in prepared for the level of non-science in the fiction...
