Georgi Gospodinov's "Time Shelter," a satirical novel about nostalgia sweeping Europe and entire countries considering living in past eras, has won the International Booker Prize, making it the first Bulgarian novel to win the prestigious award. The book's author and translator, Georgi Gospodinov and Angela Rodel, will share the prize of £50,000. The novel centers on a psychiatrist who creates a clinic in Switzerland to help people with Alzheimer’s disease, and the experiment proves so successful that the idea is taken up far beyond the hospital’s walls.
