Summary: a dream worth reading
Comment: It's heaven hell and purgatory - that is the three distinct metaphorical division of the book. you will find that sometimes bad is better than good and it is better to live in dream than in reality. The grey area between dream and reality in this book is unlimited. The author talks about his father - sometimes his father is like Don Quixote and on other occasions his father is the little tyrant without the crown. It is very close to a modern day Don Quixote. The transalation by William Hannaher is great and worth reading. I will recommend reading this book

Rating: 5
Summary: if Bob Dylan could be a novelist from Serbia
Comment: For some reason I think of Bob Dylan in a distant way when I read this book, maybe because of the way it melts into the distance and then you squint your eyes and it all kind of falls into this pastoral, painful dream and then you realize you're gazing into the pages, like there is some kind of map staring back at you, a secret map that his father has written for you, he's whispered the code in your ear and all you can do is hope it'll come alive like Galatea

Rating: 5
Summary: Poem pretending to be a novel & vice versa, being none & all
Comment: Garden, Ashes proves that after Borges someone could go beyond words, beyond meaning; defying & sculpting at the same time, celebrating & mourning, living & dying... garden & ashes
