A major literary talent emerges with a sweeping family epic from this 22-year-old phenomenon.

Nelio Biedermann joins us from Germany to discuss his debut novel, Lázár (translated by Jamie Bulloch) which is already setting him on the path to becoming an international literary phenomenon at the age of just twenty-two. It has been a huge bestseller in Germany and Switzerland, and won the German Booksellers Prize as voted for by independent bookshops across the country.

Part of

Lázár is an exquisite and masterly pronouncement that a gifted young writer walks among us

Patti Smith

About the book:

Lázár is a sweeping epic inspired by Nelio’s own family history, taking the reader from the beginning of the twentieth century to the Hungarian National Uprising of 1956. With its air of timeless wisdom, it reads like rediscovered classic, with nods to Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude.

About the author:

Nelio Biedermann, born in 2003, grew up on Lake Zurich. His paternal family is of Hungarian nobility; his grandparents fled to Switzerland in the 1950s. Biedermann studied German and film studies at the University of Zurich. His novel Lázár will be published in more than twenty countries.
