I am very happy to share that, thanks to Literature Ireland, I will be translating into #Bulgarian the novel "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" by Irish author Roddy Doyle.

The novel won the Booker Prize in 1993. I don't remember exactly why the book grabbed my attention, but after I finished reading it, I just had to convince my publisher to get the translation rights 😀

Here's a little something by Roddy Doyle himself about how he came to write Paddy:

Stay with me, I forgot to make my #introduction when I moved here. I'm a fedizen since Feb. 2019, but I finally decided to settle at my own place. (It’s great, you should try it.) I live in #Sofia, #Bulgaria. Posting in #English and a little bit in #Bulgarian, but I quite enjoy reading posts from other people on their native languages. I might post of my work about #translation, #writing #fiction, #publishing. Look out for #cats #gaming #books #sciencefiction and me being baffled by #politics.

After bitter debates on and off since March, the #Bulgarian parliament has finally authorized #militaryaid for #Ukraine

This is great news because:
1) 🇧🇬 is a big producer, so lots of stock.
2) 🇧🇬weapons are of Soviet design (i.e. compatible w Ukr army) but better quality
3) 🇧🇬 has the least Ukr-supportive #European public, yet govt has now taken this step. It means European support for Ukr is growing/solidifying, not eroding.
