On Tuesday 4 May 2010, at 7 p.m. the Bulgarian writer, translator and critic Angel Igov visited the Second Chance School of Rhodes where he met the students of the school, read extracts from his books and discussed them with the students.

 

In many of my stories I am interested in what I call minimal life. Characters such as the protagonist of It Will Happen have withdrawn from the world, have cut off their communications, and what happens to them is mostly confined to their own imagination. Why do they do that? Maybe they are just weird persons, maybe they cannot cope with the 'normal' life we lead, and maybe society has shut them off in some way…”

(Extract from a commentary of the writer on his short stories It will happen and 74)

 

The reading was organized by the International Writers´and Translators´Center of Rhodes.
