Lyubomir Nikolov

The tightrope walker Karoy will lead you into worlds spun from unruly words, rekindling the forgotten pleasure of reading. The stories unfold across four themed realms: The Beach, Optimistic SF, Until Yesterday, and Surreal & Sublime. Summer and the sea wash over you in The Beach, where great events happen only once, and by the next day the sand lies perfectly, indifferently smooth. In Surreal & Sublime, strange happenings erupt in unexpected places, excitement stirs everywhere, and Karoy's anticipation builds to an almost unbearable tension-where delicate souls speak through their stomachs, and the eyelashes of beauties shimmer into an oppressive heat haze.
In Optimistic SF and Until Yesterday, the stories happen-but in their own, unique way. Specially. Their power grows until the web of words can scarcely contain them. But Lubomir Nikolov knows how to weave such webs. The proof? The Chudomir 2008 award.
