Title: Hrabal's gem
Review: On sleepless nights, when seeking for peace of mind, sometimes I take Hrabal's "Too loud a solitude" and read a couple of pages from it. (Well, sometimes a couple of chapters.) Probably the reason it comforts me so much is that the language he uses is so beautiful. You probably have to have East-European origins in order to fully appreciate this kind of beauty, because the stories of Hrabal are all sad after all. But that's how life is in this corner of the world: a stange, grotesk mixture of humour, sadness, beauty and insanity. So it goes.
