Beschreibung

<p><b>'Compulsively readable' <i>New York Times</i><br>'Utterly original' Alberto Manguel</b></p><p><i>In the small and the insignificant - that's where life hides, that's where it builds its nest.</i></p><p>Our unnamed narrator is not well. He suffers from attacks of 'pathological empathy', which cause him to wander unbidden into other people's memories. He moves from recollection to recollection - from a Bulgarian country fair in 1925, where he meets a Minotaur, to inside the mind of a slug, as it is swallowed by his own Grandfather.</p><p>Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on life in Communist Europe, <i>The Physics of Sorrow</i> is a dazzlingly inventive, mind-expanding novel from one of Europe's most important writers.</p><p><b>TRANSLATED FROM THE BULGARIAN BY ANGELA RODEL</b></p>
