“Radichkov, they say, is a universe.
He populated his world with innocents and schemers, dreamers and doers, mystics and realists. He created characters who lead you along a path both familiar and close — yet also fantastic and otherworldly.
Radichkov is a poet. His world is governed by metaphysical laws — by longing and fear, by faith and doubt, by the thirst for something beyond ourselves. All his characters are born of Daedalus’ rib: airborne people, temporarily grounded, temporarily anchored to everyday care. Beings raised on tiptoe, on invisible stilts — levitating above the mud, striving to glimpse something more than what is allotted to them. People of weak gravity, birdlike and winged.
„Flight is their essence. Floating in the sky is their natural state of spirit.
And so they rise above huts, pumpkins and pigs.
And take us by the hand to soar among the clouds for at least an hour — we, the hurried inhabitants of concrete blocks.”
Nedyalko Delchev
