Sold by Perimeter Books, Thornbury

Translated by Angela Rodel The frontiers of the sublime extend into the far reaches of space in Georgi Gospodinov’s cosmic adventure starring archetypal astronauts Adam and Eve, Laika the dog and naturally, a Musca domestica or fruit fly. The Bulgarian author’s exercise in libretto writing takes the shape of a “giant poem” patterned after a hyper-saturated present where “information is everything/And everything is information…isn’t it?”. In answer, Gospodinov heads out of bounds, roving between Mars and Earth; voices, scales, valences of emotion. Mediated by camera cues and an insectoid chorus
