A powerful and heartbreaking novel about love, guilt and memory - and the stories we choose to tell about ourselves and each other
Michel Laub was born in Porto Alegre and currently lives in Sao Paulo. He is a writer and journalist, and was named one of Granta's twenty 'Best of Young Brazilian Novelists'. Diary of the Fall, which received the Brasilia Award, was his first novel to appear in English. It won the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Literary Prize 2015 and was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award 2016.
Extraordinary... In my world, this novel is already a classic

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

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

[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

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

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
