В юнския брой на сп. “Локус” излезе статия, която написахме с един приятел и фен от Румъния, Кристиян Тамаш. Списание “Локус” е американско периодично издание за фантастичния жанр – то не публикува художествени текстове, а ревюта, интервюта, критични и аналитични статии. Най-голямата полза разбира се е, че там представихме по няколко книги от България и Румъния – за рекламата се плаща, а тук не се наложи.
Самата статия с илюстрациите е достъпна тук: https://locusmag.com/2024/06/sf-in-bulgaria-romania-how-many-dwarfs-does-it-take-to-match-a-giant-by-valentin-d-ivanov-cristian-tamas/
Приятно четене!
