Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov
5.0
The international Booker prize winner was a phenomenal read that dove into the idea of the past and how the past contains multitudes; the parts we remember and the parts we forget; the past we cherish and feel nostalgia towards, and the erased, fearful past. The exploration of the main character(s) is a creative extension of the theme’s connection with memory. Tons of references/influences to the Odyssey and Borges which was cool.
There was one section of this book that tilted between necessary and superfluous, but in the end I feel like I understand the projection of that part of the novel. I will likely come back to this one in later years to further explore this one
