Georgi Tenev

A very difficult book both in subject and format. The official Bulgarian reaction to the Chernobyl disaster, when the Party leaders acted in their own self interest and left the populace in ignorance of the event.In a more fictional scenario, the Party leaders stash briefcases full of cash around Europe as the flee the collapse of the USSR. The narrative wanders in time and point of view and is hard to follow. I read a lot of it twice.
