Time Shelter

Georgi Gospodinov

In an apricot-colored building in Zurich, surrounded by curiously planted forget-me-nots, Gaustine has opened the first “clinic for the past,” an institution that offers an inspired treatment for Alzheimer’s sufferers: each floor reproduces a past decade in minute detail, allowing patients to transport themselves back in time to unlock what is left of their fading memories. Serving as Gaustine’s assistant, the narrator is tasked with collecting the flotsam and jetsam of the past, from 1960s furniture and 1940s shirt buttons to nostalgic scents and even wisps of afternoon light. But as the charade becomes more convincing, an increasing number of healthy people seek out the clinic to escape from the dead-end of their daily lives―a development that results in an unexpected conundrum when the past begins to invade the present.

Natural novel

Georgi Gospodinov

"Natural Novel is driven by a man's obsessive need to come to terms with his dissolving marriage and his wife's infidelity with their close friend. Mimicking the complex and fragmented way that a fly sees the world, this novel contains a myriad of storylines, reflections, and digressions, including a history of toilets and the graffiti found therein, a meditation on the relationship between bees and language, and an attempt to write a book using only verbs."--Jacket.
