Reviews

Extraordinary... In my world, this novel is already a classic
*Karl Ove Knausgaard*

A powerful exploration of memory and guilt
*Guardian*

A work of immense incantatory power
*Literary Review*

Astonishingly powerful ... Diary of a Fall may well emerge as one of the finest novels published in English this year
*Irish Times*

A gripping, thoughtful novel... Laub beautifully retrieves the tragedy of the holocaust from its scholarship, politics and deniers, cutting to the bone of human life, its longings and limitations
*Independent*

[A] powerful and nuanced novel… Elegantly translated… It is both timely and gratifying to see one of the country’s outstanding writers come to the attention of an English-language readership
*Financial Times*

This riveting read challenges how we choose to tell others our life story and how events make us into the people we are. A top, quick read
*Sun*

I have already found a contender for my book of 2014
*Herald*

Robustly delicate… This is the Brazilian author’s fifth novel, and the first to be translated into English. Let’s hope for more to follow
*Bookseller*

A powerful novel
*UK Press Syndication*
