Summary
Georgi Gospodinov: The Gardener and Death
After the worldwide success of the novel *Temporary Shelter*, Booker Prize winner Georgi Gospodinov returns to where it all began - to the garden of childhood and the intimacy of memories. *The Gardener and Death*, his most personal book to date, is both a family chronicle and a philosophical reflection on how storytelling can be the last line of defense against the finality of loss. Gospodinov retains his distinctive wit and penchant for irony, avoiding sentimentality, while building a carefully thought-out structure that combines deep sadness with the cheerfulness of everyday life. *Gardener and Death* is not only a novel - it is a tender requiem for a father, but also for a whole world that is disappearing.
