Сюжет книги «Восток Запада Страна в историях» вращается вокруг жизни людей, живущих в Болгарии, стране со сложной историей политических и социальных изменений. История начинается с того, что внук пытается приобрести труп Ленина на eBay для своего деда-коммуниста, подчеркивая напряженность между прошлыми и настоящими идеологиями. Затем повествование переходит к неудавшемуся вундеркинду, который крадет у православной церкви золотой крест, символизирующий конфликт между религией и технологиями. По мере развития истории мы встречаем мальчика, который встречает своего двоюродного брата, любовь всей своей жизни, раз в пять лет в реке, которая делит их деревню на восток и запад. Эта необычная и трогательная коллекция рассказов исследует столетия потрясений, когда персонажи борются с весом истории, семейными долгами и муками изгнания. Благодаря уникальному взгляду Пенькова, истории одновременно и сопереживают, и сюрреалистичны, предлагая заглянуть в человеческий опыт жизни во времена великих перемен. Первая повесть «Дедушкина сказка» знакомит нас с внуком, который твердо намерен исполнить последнее желание своего деда-коммуниста: владеть трупом Ленина.
