In Too Loud A Solitude, a man who is supposed to be recycling paper takes it upon himself to save as much precious literature as he can, in a dystopian underground bunker. As we enter his solitary life, we find gems of prose to fire up our souls. Join Charlene Putney to laugh and cry in this cosy book club chat about one of her favourite reads as part of the Western Canon Book Club series.

Another perfect book club read: poetic, readable in an afternoon, and life-changing – the ideal chaser to One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich.

Sit in the warmth of your home, with your favourite hot beverage, and let the meandering words of Bohumil Hrabal massage and delight your brain…

“When I start reading I’m somewhere completely different, I’m in the text, it’s amazing, I have to admit I’ve been dreaming, dreaming in a land of great beauty, I’ve been in the very heart of truth. Ten times a day, every day, I wonder at having wandered so far, and then, alienated from myself, a stranger to myself, I go home, walking the streets silently and in deep meditation, passing trams and cars and pedestrians in a cloud of books, the books I found that day and am carrying home in my briefcase.”
