A piece of the opinion of the writer Kolyo Nikolov about the novel “Innocent Women in Brussels”:

“I read your book with pleasure, which I have rarely felt.

From the beginning, I realized that I had to read each line without skipping and reviewing the text on the diagonal system, as they used to say. The very first pages were loaded with such deep knowledge that goes smoothly with the text, with good humor … It doesn’t matter if you know and remember literally so many authors that you quote, or you pasted them piece by piece from Google; the important thing is what comes out in the end, without weighing, to go with the narrative. I believe that this is natural for you, because you have worked in publishing houses and libraries and memorization has happened in a natural way. On every page I deeply felt the spirit of Remarque, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, not because you wanted to look like them, but because this is the spirit of Europe – cafes, small restaurants, bistros … if you want, clouds and rain … The solar comma… strollers with children. ”
