Content: 4 stars ~ Narration: 5 stars
Complete audiobook review
The Physics of Sorrow is a fragmented, reflective novel blending myth, history, and personal anecdotes. Narrator Georgi tells his life story. I really enjoyed the start of the novel about the Minotaur. Later on, we learn about family history, like his boyhood years in communist Bulgaria, the abandonment of his relatives, and some other family secrets.
This was my second novel by Georgi Gospodinov. My first was Time Shelter. Again, I really enjoyed the start and hoped for a different novel. But I'm used to the author's style, so now I can appreciate his works more.
I also recommend the audio format. I think it's much easier to get through.

Nors vietomis nuplaukdavo į pernelyg abstrakčią prisiminimų mozaiką, knyga turėjo pakankamai aiškią liniją ir žinutę, kurią galima sugaudyti siužeto nuotrupose.
