About this title

Synopsis

A writer whose works are rejected by the state publishing houses takes a job on a street-sweeping gang in Prague. His co-workers provide him with a new and unsettling view of this city and his society. This is an evocation of the fate of the creative artist under a repressive regime.

Review

"A sad and hauntingly beautiful elegy for just about everything mortal" (Time Out)

"Few writers have the invention and skill to juxtapose within one novel so many diverse themes, mundane and sublime, savage and compassionate, held in a satisfying balance. He tosses time and space about in a net seeking to catch the eternal" (Observer)

"The dilapidated regime Love and Garbage depicts is now of course on history's rubbish dump. One of those who helped to put it there is this writer" (Sunday Times)
