Natural novel cover

Natural novel

by Georgi Gospodinov

"Natural Novel is driven by a man's obsessive need to come to terms with his dissolving marriage and his wife's infidelity with their close friend. Mimicking the complex and fragmented way that a fly sees the world, this novel contains a myriad of storylines, reflections, and digressions, including a history of toilets and the graffiti found therein, a meditation on the relationship between bees and language, and an attempt to write a book using only verbs."--Jacket.
