Summary:
"A blind chemist lives alone in Sofia. He is old - he has witnessed a whole century of Bulgarian war and setback- and the years have proved a disappointment. Wondering if he has anything to leave the world, he immerses himself in a spectacular reimagining of his life. Set in country that has belonged sometimes to Asia and sometimes to Europe, Solo is a book about lost roots, broken traditions and wasted endeavours - and the exquisite ways in which human beings overcome them."--Back cover.
