Description:While majoring in English at UCLA, Velina Minkoff applied for the Creative Writing Fiction program. There, she studied with contemporary American writers Aimee Bender and Carolyn See, among others. There was considerable interest in her stories about Bulgaria. Her fictional series Iodine was published in four consecutive volumes of the Student Committee for the Arts publication Split Peas – Fiction and Photography; her story The Old Woman won the Harry Kurnitz Creative Writing Award for writers whose native language is not English. Her short story Voices was selected for the First Annual UCLA Day for the Arts, where the author read before an audience of almost 300 people.Her first book, Red Shorts, is a collection of stories she wrote during the years she spent in UCLA creative writing workshops. Red Shorts, or short stories from communist times, is a collage of memories written down in the natural pattern of recollections. It is not a memoir or an autobiography. Its stories recount a passionate, almost subconscious search for explanations among snippets of childhood flashbacks. From deeply personal to ideological, from political to historical. Why were things the way they were? Was that how they were supposed to be? Memories can answer many questions.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Велина Минкова следва английски език и литература в Kалифорнийския университет (UCLA) и кандидатства със свои разкази в програмата творческо писане – проза (кратък разказ) преподавана от съвременни американски писатели (Ейми Бендър, Каролин Сий и др.) Разказва за България и творбите ѝ се радват на успех. Новелата ѝ Iodine излиза в четири поредни броя на списание Split Peas; разказът ѝ The Old Woman печели литературната награда Harry Kurnitz, връчвана на автори, чийто роден език не е английският. Неин разказ (Voices) е отличен и на ежегодния фестивал по изкуствата в UCLA, където младата авторка чете пред аудитория от близо 300 души.През 2001 г. излиза първата ѝ авторска книга на английски език, Red Shorts, която е плод на годините, прекарани в писателските ателиета на UCLA. Сборникът съдържа къси разкази, вдъхновени от детските спомени на Велина, от „времето на комунизма“ - Red Shorts - червени и къси. С други думи, едно българско момиче по червени къси панталонки, което продължава да търси отговорите на многото въпроси, запечатани в съзнанието ѝ от „онези години.“Разказът „Сватба“ (Wedding) излиза във в. „Литературен форум“ в превод на Елка Димитрова http://www.slovo.bg/old/litforum/135/....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
