Description
The Physics of Sorrow by Georgi Gospodinov is a novel that delves into the complexities of human experience. Its unnamed narrator suffers from 'pathological empathy', causing him to involuntarily enter others' memories, leading to a non-linear exploration of life, family, and identity. This inventive and thought-provoking book is a meditation on life in Communist Europe, weaving together elements of coming-of-age story and family history.
