Synopsis
Too Loud a Solitude is a short novel by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal. Self-published in 1976 and officially in 1989 due to political censorship, it was Hrabal's final novel before his death. It tells the story of an eclectic and dimwitted old man who works as a paper crusher in Prague, using his job to save and amass astounding numbers of rare and banned books, he is an obsessive collector of knowledge. The book was translated into English by Michael Henry Heim.
