Paperback. Condition: Good. Garden, Ashes (1985) ? Danilo Ki? (Faber & Faber) ISBN: 0571134793 ? Condition: Good ? Sold by Crappy Old Books? Welcome to the world of Andi Scham , whose father collects facts the way other men collect debts?obsessively, ceremonially, and with disastrous interest rates. Garden, Ashes is Ki??s sly, luminous coming-of-age tale set on the trembling edge of mid-century Europe, where timetables are poetry, train whistles are plot twists, and a child learns that history loves a grand entrance and an even grander exit. Andi?s father is an inspired fabulist, a cartographer of everything, forever drafting atlases of invisible countries and indexing the wind. He worships the List ?names of stations, rivers, emperors, obsolete professions?and Andi, small and watchful, learns to love the cadence of enumeration even as the real enumerators of the age begin counting people. Ki? writes it all with a magician?s left hand: grief in the right pocket, jokes in the left, and sentences that turn a corner and suddenly become a song. It?s a novel about memory masquerading as inventory, about the grand opera of parenthood performed in a coat two sizes too large. You?ll find slapstick and sorrow sharing a commute: a father who could talk the moon into signing a receipt, a mother who keeps a household like a fragile experiment in gravity, and a boy who understands that the most reliable machines in life are bureaucracies and trains?and neither one stops for wonder. The book has that rare Ki? alchemy where lists catch fire, footnotes sprout wings, and nostalgia refuses to wear perfume. This Good copy from Crappy Old Books? has lived just enough: a gentlemanly spine crease (experience, not damage), a few foxing freckles (vintage charisma), and pages with the warm, toasted hue of a memory reconsidered. Sturdy, readable, and ready for the margin notes you?ll pretend are objective observations and not love letters to particular paragraphs. Read it if you like your coming-of-age stories with lyric mischief and your history with the volume turned low until, abruptly, it isn?t. Keep it if you?ve ever felt that lists are just prayers with better punctuation. File under: Fathers & Fictions , Childhood Under Weather , Railway Mysticism , Europe?Some Assembly Required . Carry it around. Let people see the title. They?ll ask what it?s about. Say, ? A garden, and what?s left. ? Then smile like you?ve just heard a train in the distance and you know, absolutely know, where it?s going. …

DESCRIPTION - In Yugoslavia during the Second World War, young Andi Scham and his beleaguered family are constantly moving, searching for refuge.

Andi's search for his father is a poetic, lyrical remembrance of things past. The celebrated Serbian writer Danilo Kis has blended bits of realism, snatches of dreams, and echoes of his own consciousness as a child to shape this magical and memorable novel. inventory #644.…
