David E. Bernstein Reihenfolge der Bücher

»Mein Vater war Gärtner. Jetzt ist er ein Garten.« In seinem bisher persönlichsten Roman lässt Georgi Gospodinov das Leben seines Vaters in einer bewegenden Hommage auferstehen. Mit Witz und Wärme feiert er den leidenschaftlichen Gärtner, der bis zum Schluss nicht vom Umgraben, Säen und Jäten abzubringen ist – und vom Geschichtenerzählen. Der Vater zeichnet mit seinen Worten ein Bild der Welt, überall und so lebendig, dass alle Schmerzen vergehen und der Blütenstaub der geschilderten Kirschbäume sich in den Aschenbechern seiner Ärzte wiederfindet. Ein Buch über unsere Eltern, die uns nicht nur beibringen zu leben, sondern auch, was es heißt, Abschied zu nehmen. »Einer der bedeutendsten Schriftsteller Europas. Jedes Buch ist ein Ereignis.« Garth Greenwell
