Too Loud a Solitude
Translated by Michael Heim


The main character in this story works and lives as a kind of subterranean paper crusher in Prague. Hrabal leads us along the bizarre and lasting corridors of his mind and world. Truly memorable. —Recommended by Maia, City Lights Books

Hantá rescues books from the jaws of his compacting press and carries them home. Hrabal, whom Milan Kundera calls "our very best writer today," celebrates the power and the indestructibility of the written word.
