In our last episode of the year (time flies!), we catch up with International Booker Prize 2023 winners Georgi Gospodinov and Angela Rodel. The winning novel, Time Shelter, follows an enigmatic therapist who runs a ‘clinic for the past’ that offers a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s sufferers. It was the first book from Bulgaria to win the International Booker – and, in fact, to be shortlisted – and its win has been received with much excitement in Gospodinov's home country and beyond. This week, we catch up with author and translator to find out how the award has changed their lives and what they've been up to since their win.

In this episode Jo and James speak to Georgi and Angela about:

The book, its plot and its themes
What the night of their International Booker Prize win was like
How their lives have changed since winning the prize
What it means for translators to receive recognition alongside the writers they work with
The importance of music in their work
The unique working relationship between writers and translators
Why Bulgarian literature deserves more recognition and which books to look out for

A full transcript of the episode is available at our website.
