Gueorgui Gospodínov and Miquel Cabal

Control over the past, control over the future

Winner of the International Booker Prize 2023, Gueorgui Gospodínov warns of the dangers of nostalgia and exalting a supposed glorious past. In a conversation with translator Miquel Cabal, Gospodínov suggests looking reality straight in the eye to see a place where authoritarianism is on the rise, war continues, and where we run the risk of committing the same atrocities from our past.
