Waiting by the canal in Malmö, a young cellist meets a disorientated junkie. The
encounter sends him into a turmoil of memories, voices and associations. As the
cellist oscillates between present and past, he is paralysed by doubt and
confusion and he begins to question his own place in society.
From sprawling social housing estates, via basement clubs and squat parties, and
culminating in a dramatic role reversal, Wretchedness is a delirious trip
through Europe's underbelly. With a rhythmic, mesmerising flow, Tichy's novel
explores the possibility of social mobility and the ambivalent desire to escape
your origins, asking how to love your neighbour when that neighbour is an
addict, a criminal, wretched.
