Reviews
In this novella, written in 1976, narrator and authorial alter ego Hanta meditates on the 35 years he has spent at a hydraulic press in a dark cellar, compacting waste paper and books proscribed by various regimes. Though he no longer weeps or protests when rare treasures appear in his press, the books that he must destroy become his whole life, his only companions. When he is to be replaced by young workers with a more productive machine, Hanta dreams of a gigantic press that destroys not only himself but the entire city, with its traditions and culture. Written by a leading Czech writer (I Served the King of England, LJ 4/1/89), this affecting metaphor expressing fear for Central European culture belongs in libraries collecting European fiction.- Marie Bednar, Pennsylvania State Univ. Libs., University Park, Czechoslovakian author Hrabal (I Served the King of England) pens an absorbing fable about a man who educates himself with the discarded printed matter he collects.

Synopsis
A short novel by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, called "our very best writer today" by Milan Kundera, this eccentric romp celebrates the indestructability--against censorship and political oppression--of the written word. Too Loud a Solitude is a tender and funny story of Hanta--a man who has lived in a Czech police state--for 35 years, working as compactor of wastepaper and books. In the process of compacting, he has acquired an education so unwitting he can't quite tell which of his thoughts are his own and which come from his books. He has rescued many from jaws of hydraulic press and now his house is filled to the rooftops. Destroyer of the written word, he is also its perpetrator. But when a new automatic press makes his job redundant there's only one thing he can do--go down with his ship. Translated by Michael Henry Heim., Hant rescues books from the jaws of his compacting press and carries them home. Hrabal, whom Milan Kundera calls "our very best writer today," celebrates the power and the indestructibility of the written word. Translated by Michael Henry Heim., A short novel by Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, this eccentric romp celebrates the indestructability--against censorship and political oppression--of the written word.
