Time shelter
In 'Time Shelter', an unnamed narrator meets Gaustine, a 'flâneur through time,' who has uncoupled his life from his contemporary reality, reading old news, wearing old clothes, haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century. Gaustine is the mind behind the first 'clinic for the past,' an institution based in Zurich that offers an inspired treatment for Alzheimer's sufferers: each floor reproduces a past decade in minute detail, allowing patients to transport themselves back in time and find comfort in their fading memories. Yet an increasing number of healthy people are interested in seeking out the clinic as a form of 'time shelter,' hoping to escape from the horrors of our present, a development that results in an unexpected conundrum, when the past beings to invade the present.

What Is Written for You
[...]I did, and what subsequently became known as an \"ethno-rock-poetry band,\" playing at readings, book launches, literary festivals, and art performances, introduced me to the world of contemporary Bulgarian literature. [...]faced with survival beyond the apronand-purse strings of the university, I looked around and found a gig: translating for Vagabond, a lifestyle magazine of sorts for expats in Bulgaria, whose editor in chief was Anthony Georgieff (picture the quintessential cigarchomping, green-visor-wearing editor of Hollywood lore, but with a cigarette and fedora instead).\\n Today, with trembling hands you untie the knot of your scarlet Pioneer's neckerchief, replacing it with a red Comsomol membership booklet. [...]as portentous as it may sound, now that I have a Bulgarian passport, I seem to have gotten a Bulgarian state of mind right along with it: I just might agree that through some strange twist of fate, these books and this translator's life that I have come to love were in some small way also written for me.
