By (author): Dumitru Tsepeneag Dumitru Tspeneag

Translated by: Alistair Ian Blyth

The writer-narrator of The Bulgarian Truck has hit upon a new technique for writing a novel, which he calls a building site beneath the open sky, but he cannot persuade his more widely read wife, Marianne, a character from an earlier novel, that it is any good. Meanwhile, the narrators extramarital affair with Milena, a young Slovak novelist who writes in French, turns sour. Interspersed among the narrators accounts of his novels growing pains are stories of the characters he has inventedTsvetan, a Bulgarian truck driver, and Beatrice, an impenetrable French erotic dancerunfolding according to their own logic while hurtling toward a fatal conclusion.
