Description

Twenty-five years after she left, Kassabova returns to Bulgaria to explore the border it shares with Turkey and Greece in an immersive travel narrative that is also a shadow history of the Cold War, a sideways look at the migration crisis troubling Europe, and a deep, witchy descent into interior and exterior geographies.
