The Imperfect Genius. A Book on Konstantin Pavlov

Author: Ani Ilkov

The book The Imperfect Genius opens and “unfolds” the parabolic plans in Konstantin Pavlov’s fate and creative work. Ani Ilkov’s study of the situation, poetry and their critical reception is a long-awaited book in the Bulgarian humanities. The figure of Konstantin Pavlov, significant for the profile of contemporary poetry, is hardly accessible, and interpretive efforts towards his work are fragmentary. “The Imperfect Genius comes to offer a powerful but carefully considered study, analyzing both the historical and political context and the risks in the fate of the poet and poetry.”
