“Even back then, I felt a smug satisfaction that as a generation with a double transition, we are enviable for having the opportunity to live out this dance between socialism and
democracy. But now, though I know the process was unsuccessful, I am even more convinced that the ’90s were the most exciting time from the fall of the Iron Curtain until now.”
Milena Deleva
“That’s how the ’90s began—like waking up from anesthesia.”
Nataliya Deleva
“I’m writing about the pain, the losses, the depth and the horizon we were robbed off, the feeling that we were euphoric and full of pathos when we should’ve been pragmatic and skeptical instead.”
Katya Atanasova
“It so happened that the last time we were young was in the ’90s. We went through all their misery. And through all their marvelous sense of freedom and community. Somewhere back then we had and lost wives and friends, meaning and hope. That’s why I recall that decade by way of Salinger—with love and squalor.”
Georgi Gospodinov
