About

Who I Am (and Who I'm Not)
The pieces don’t always fit —
and maybe that’s the point.
A life spent circling the essential thing,
never arriving, but never stopping either.

About the Author

Zlatko Enev is a Bulgarian writer based in Berlin.

Zlatko Enev

He was born in 1961 in Preslav, Bulgaria and studied philosophy in Sofia during the 1980s. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he moved to Germany, where he has lived ever since.

His work has taken different forms over the years. He has written books, worked in publishing, and built editorial systems from the ground up. He later founded the online journal Liberal Review, which became a central platform for independent Bulgarian-language analysis and commentary.

As an author, he moves between literary writing, essays, and cultural reflection. His texts often deal with memory, personal and collective experience, and the question of how people locate themselves between cultures and histories.

His path has not followed a stable or linear course. There have been periods of recognition, but also long stretches of working outside any wider attention. This has shaped both the tone and the direction of his writing.

He continues to write.
