Kapka Kassabova writes travel memoir and cultural history about borders, migration, memory and the landscapes of the Balkans. Border travels through the regions around Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey, combining family history, folklore and encounters with people living near former Cold War frontiers. To the Lake turns to the lakes of Ohrid and Prespa and the intertwined histories of North Macedonia, Albania and Greece, while Elixir explores traditional plant knowledge and remote communities. Kassabova's books are reflective and place-led rather than conventional guidebooks. The strongest audience overlap is with readers of Balkan history, literary travel, borderlands and writing where landscape carries political memory. Read more Less
