Georgi Gospodinov Is 2016 Commencement Speaker

Georgi Gospodinov is the undisputed star of modern Bulgarian literature. With two books, Natural Novel and The Physics of Sadness, he successfully conquered not only the hearts of the reading public in this country but also book fairs worldwide. Apart from those two bestsellers, for the past 25 years Gospodinov has never stopped writing – essays, short stories, poetry – but in this case we invited him to speak. His speech is calm, wise, inspirational. It is an honor for the American College of Sofia that Georgi Gospodinov gratefully accepted to be the Commencement Speaker at the 2016 graduation ceremony.
