Градинарят и смъртта

How do you bid a final farewell to your parents? A son – a world-famous writer – accompanies his dying father, a passionate smoker and gardener, through his final months. Even gravely ill, he continues to sow and weed. His garden in a Bulgarian village outlives him. With this homage to his father, Georgi Gospodinov has written his most personal book – about a collapsing world, the solace of storytelling, and the first tulips in spring.
