Текстовете, включени в книгата (непубликувани, публикувани у нас или в чужбина), са писани през последните две десетилетия, по различно време и по различни поводи, и са израз на трайния ми интерес към осмислянето на комунистическия феномен, на комунистическия режим в България и на живота на обикновените хора в комунистическото всекидневие.

LITERARY SCANDALS IN NRB

13 November at 6:00 p.m. at the Red Hall

We would discuss the latest book of Plamen Doynov „Literature of Case Studies. Instances from the Literary Field of the People’s Republic“.

The book tells the story of varying incidents in the literary field of communist Bulgaria which provoked different reactions among the critics and the ideological authorities varying from effective censorship and secret police sanctions, circulating anecdotes and gossips to open and/or hidden intervention of the communist leader himself.
