Georgi Gospodinov, born in Bulgaria, is considered one of the most important contemporary European writers. For his novel Time Shelter, he was awarded the International Booker Prize in 2023. His works are celebrated for their poetic power, formal originality, and philosophical depth. Gospodinov writes about time, memory, and the fragility of human existence – often from a deeply personal perspective.
In Death and the Gardener, which was named Book of the Year by the SWR Best List, Gospodinov approaches the death of his father. The novel combines autobiographical memories with literary reflection on farewell, grief, and transience. A deeply moving book about saying goodbye – and about the language needed to do so.
