Bulgarian Science Fiction and Fantasy in 2009

Voici un article sur l'Imaginaire en Bulgarie.

C'est en anglais. Je vous mets le début. Il cite trois romans.

It may be interesting to add to the scope Bulgaria, a small country in comparison with the ones listed above, with a population of about seven and a half million. I was surprised to hear that about forty books published in 2009 fall into the speculative fiction category. The typical print runs for national writers are 500-1000 copies, the famous foreign SF&F names sell a few times more. The limited market effectively precludes making living from writing alone, so even the most successful mainstream writers have a day job.

The Sturgeon's law tells us that we cannot expect more than a few good books among the 2009 crop, and I haven't read all forty or so titles, but here are a few that drew my attention.

Intéressant. J'avais publié dans Présence d'esprits, voici quelques années, un article sur le sujet, rédigé en espagnol par Khristo Poshtakov. Je devrais lui demander son opinion.
