Povestit din perspectiva copilului Andi, romanul autobiografic Gradina, cenusa este o scufundare in apele memoriei, in care naratorul isi recompune copilaria ca din fragmentele unei oglinzi sfaramate: descoperirea faptului ca oamenii sunt muritori, misterul somnului, sexualitatea precoce, stradania de a intelege misterioasa figura a tatalui sau disparut care nu a incetat niciodata sa-l obsedeze. Forta acestui roman sta, dincolo de scriitura poetica, tulburatoare prin originalitate, in lucrurile nenumite, in amenintarea Holocaustului – omniprezenta dar inexplicabila pentru ca este dincolo de puterea de intelegere a copilului. Adesea asimilat cu Borges si considerat un candidat serios la Premiul Nobel, Danilo Kiš este unul dintre acei scriitori cosmopoliti, imposibil de incadrat in tipare, care au marcat literatura secolului XX.
