Inhaltsangabe

The Bulgarian Training Manual is a comic novel that tells the story of Tina in her quest to find her true parents and jeans that fit.

With the help of a mysterious book with magical powers, Tina makes her way from her waterlogged apartment in Hoboken, New Jersey, to an Oz-like journey to Bulgaria and back. Our heroine is the catalyst for a final contest that is part body-builder pose-off and part poetry slam.

The novel is a sly and comic look at self-improvement, our self-doubts and fervent dreams, and our endless internal yammering. Those who follow The Bulgarian Training Manual add more than muscle. They become poets.

Big Steve. Over there at the squat rack. Quiet. Keeps to himself. But let me tell you, that guy, he used to be one mother-fucking dude. Totally shit-faced, all the time. Tree-hugger. Hypochondriac. Gourmand of organically grown hallucinogens. Yeah, he was something else. He was also my boyfriend, sort of. We’d hook up. Smoke weed. Hang out. Chill. You get the picture.
