Gospodinov, who won the International Booker Prize for Time Shelter, presents The Man with Many Names, his new collection of short stories translated by Angela Rodel. The conversation explores memory, imagination and the elastic possibilities of fiction, through unsettling premises such as inventing an entire life with a stranger in an airport café. His stories move from the Balkans to the moon and beyond, finding the extraordinary in apparently ordinary lives.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/the-man-with-many-names-georgi-gospodinov-in-conversation-wi-41632/", "official_url": "https://libreria.io/the-man-with-many-names-georgi-gospodinov-in-conversation-with-lea-ypi/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/db505f2fb83627b8835a7ff4b03ec3fa891a0ff2e1eff0dabca78a8bdec1ca61-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-10T18:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "Librería", "address": "Hanbury Street 65, E1 5JP London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Translation Salon: Kafkaesque", "start": "2026-11-05T18:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "The London Library", "address": "St James's Square 14, SW1Y 4LG London", "price": "From £8", "price_from": "8.00", "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/the-londonlibrary/items/758158/availability/-12732753/book/", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["literature/translation"], "description": "Translation Salon: Kafkaesque is an in-person talk in the New Room at The London Library, with a bar opening beforehand.
