A fatal car crash with a Greek businessman capsized his young wife's life. She is a Bulgarian journalist. The raw truth surfaced. What follows is a bold entering into the depths of family history in which she (Katerina, the wife, the self-purifying woman) is looking for herself while wringing energy to deal with the pain...
This is just the plot framework of the novel "Greek coffee". Tangling autobiographical and fictional, historical and intimate, this storyline boldly dissolves the layers of time and looks at its faults concealing primary forces, old conflicts and stereotypes.
Katerina Hapsali graduated in economics and Spanish in the United States, then returned to Bulgaria. Since 2000 she has worked actively as a journalist, though she prefers the broader definition "a person of words" and it is hardly a coincidence that she's been preparing for her doctorate in philosophy now. Among her favorite media projects over the years are the radio show "Talk to her" (Darik Radio), and the magazine headings "Lie Detector" and "Women with History" (TEMA magazine). She is the first editor of "Harper's BAZAAR" magazine in Bulgaria. "Greek Coffee" is her first novel.
In March 2015, Greek coffee was nominated for "Helicon" 2015. This is the only Bulgarian award for high acchievements in all genres of fiction.
In May 2015, the novel was awarded second prize in the „Prose“ category of the 43rd edition of the Literature Days "Southern Spring" in Haskovo, Bulgaria, a traditional competition for debut books of all genres.
In June 2015, Greek coffee was nominated for the National Literature Prize "Elias Canetti" of Rousse Municipality, Bulgaria.
