Monologue of an old loner, a worker in a paper recycling plant.
Haňťa, a worker in a waste paper recycling plant, has been working at the press for thirty-five years. He saves valuable books from piles of paper, reads them, and is thus "educated against his will". The novella Too Loud a Solitude is Haňťa's internal monologue with many recurring motifs. The reader gets to know Haňťa's first love, Mančinka, and the Romani woman, Ilonka, who disappeared in a concentration camp. We witness his daily struggle with mountains of paper and endless jugs of beer, we hear Haňťa's quotes from philosophers and his dreams of retirement…
