Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov, who won the International Booker Prize yesterday, has told The Londoner that Brexit was a “big influence” on his winning book Time Shelter.
At a ceremony in the Sky Garden last night, Gospodinov said that “here in the UK there are many layers of memory”. His book muses on Europe’s uneasy relationship with the past: in it, a therapist treats Alzheimer’s patients by recreating the periods when they felt most content.
