Brimming with his signature warmth and wisdom, the Booker Prize–winning author of Time Shelter returns with a brilliant new collection of stories. Written over three decades, The Man with Many Names gathers the best of renowned author Georgi Gospodinov’s short fiction into a single new volume.

A man named Georgi sits patiently by his father’s bedside, until a final winter morning. Navigating a season of grief, Georgi parses through the endless stories his father used to tell, and the history of his whole generation—boys born in Bulgaria at the end of World War II, grown into men “often absent—clinging to the snorkel of a cigarette,” swimming in “other waters and clouds.” Out of a barren village yard, Georgi’s father created a special sanctuary: A lush garden where he would live on in the snowdrop sprouts and the first tulips of spring.
