Author Biography
Born in 1963 into a poor family in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Christo Saprjanov when a twenty year old, turned his back on his Agriculture Degree and went to work in Siberia where he wrote, in 1988 'The Flayed Dog.' The book was initially banned and published only in his own country and in Germany. In 1992, Saprjanov's book was acclaimed as an 'event' in the history of Bulgarian literature and won the National prize for literature Fiction. With the increasing interest in East European writers, Saprjanov's talent is positive proof of an untapped market. Christo, in many ways, is the angry young man of Eastern Europe. His dark outlook and thirst for justice fuel and fire his writing.
