The Irish embassy’s festivities surrounding Bloomsday, June 16, this year saw a visit by Irish author Deirdre Madden to Bulgaria. The celebrations coincided with the release of her book Authenticity in Bulgarian, published by Amat-AH. Mirela Hristova’s translation now allows the Bulgarian public to experience the writing of the two-time Orange Prize nominee. In the morning, the embassy presented DVDs of Irish poetry to the Bulgarian National Library; in the evening, Madden gave a literary reading at the residence of Irish ambassador Geoffrey Keating and Mrs Jane Keating.
