Tobacco is a panoramic, highly cinematic social novel. It dissects how greed and unbridled ambition suffocate human happiness and psychological integrity.
What is needed is a champion: a translator willing to undertake the formidable task, a publisher willing to invest in the project, and perhaps an academic or cultural institution willing to subsidize the effort. The Dimitar Dimov estate and Bulgarian cultural authorities could also play a role by actively promoting the novel to foreign publishers. dimitar dimov tobacco english translation
