Pickpick

Tough book to summarize in so few characters. It's formally daunting, a literal labyrinth of stories exploring themes of abandonment and melancholy using the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur as a central metaphor tying them together. There are numerous digressions - "side paths" as they're called - yet they're never tedious and the central narrative holds throughout. Better than Time Shelter IMO, and should have been what won Gospodinov an award.
