Beauty and poverty; violence, addiction and brotherhood: written with unstoppable flow, WRETCHEDNESS is a postpolitical foray into modern day Sweden
Klappentext zu „Wretchedness “
Waiting by the canal in Malmö, a young cellist meets a disoriented junkie. The encounter unleashes a barrage of recollections, and as the cellist oscillates between present and past, certainty and reflection are replaced by doubt and confusion.From sprawling social housing estates, through basement clubs and squat parties, Wretchedness is a wild trip through the underbelly of Europes cities, witnessing a metamorphosis worthy of Cortázar or Kafka.
In this masterpiece of rhythmic, mesmerising flow, Tichy explores the possibilities of social mobility - of the ambivalent desire to escape your origins, and the potential for love amongst the wretchedness.

Pressezitat
What can a survivor do with their history? Can you be loyal to the friends you left behind? Andrzej Tichy turns this wretched reality into something poignant. His polyphonic novel has a rough, rhythmic melody and a ferocious rage. August Prize Judges'In virtuousically rendered language; full of the poetry of spoken word, the innovation of contemporary slang, and the philosophical verve of great literature, Tichý gives a voice to the lost 'brothers of his youth. Following this frantic, mournful, bamboozling, pleading, smart, childish, would-be hard, bragging, desperate and despairing collective memory is like 'hearing a whole forsaken generation. Despite the embracing of darkness, despite the absence of hope and faith, it is a magnificent elegy, teeming with life. Pia Bergström, Aftonbladet 'In terms of ambition, few contemporary Swedish authors can compete with Tichy. The same goes for linguistic intensity. His prose rushes forward, roaring with, if you will, dark poetry, hurling its rage at an indifferent present. Wretchedness is a furious novel. Ann Lingebrandt, Sydsvenska Dagbladet 'Authors like Tichy are needed to keep our literature alive. He is drilling frenetically, refusing to neglect the suffering and succeeds to light a spark on a linguistic tinder. Nils Schwartz, Expressen
