Beschreibung

<p><em>"My father was a gardener. Now he is a garden."</em></p><br>A man named Georgi sits patiently by his father's bedside, until a final winter morning.<br><br>Navigating a season of grief, Georgi parses through the endless stories his father used to tell, and the history of his whole generation-boys born in Bulgaria at the end of the World War II, grown into men "often absent-clinging to the snorkel of a cigarette," swimming in "other waters and clouds." Out of a barren village yard, Georgi's father created a special sanctuary: A lush garden where he would live on in the snowdrop sprouts and the first tulips of spring. But without him, Georgi's past, with all its afternoons, begins to crack.<br><br>With striking acuity, Gospodinov explores the quiet rituals of mourning-how we tame sorrow through storytelling and guide a life through to its end. Spanning from ancient Ithaca to present-day Sofia, the novel draws connections between myth and memory, place and emotion. Full of light and unflinching humor, and masterfully translated by Angela Rodel, <em>Death and the Gardener</em> is another profoundly moving work from "one of Europe's most fascinating and irreplaceable novelists" (Dave Eggers). <em><br><br></em>
