Before we open the book
What would we do if we could see through people? Mimi Trompeeva gains X-ray vision, and Svetoslav Minkov turns her extraordinary gift into a satire of fashionable society.
This is a story worth revisiting with present-day eyes. The cult of appearances, the carefully maintained public image and the wish to be admired offer plenty of points of comparison. The ending is left for you to discover. The cover shown here is from Pan’s 2015 Bulgarian edition.
