View this post on InstagramInspired by Biedermann’s own family and interviews with his great-uncle, the book has drawn major critical acclaim. The Times called it a “twisted modern fairy tale,” while New York’s McNally Jackson Books praised it as a “page-turning historical epic that feels like an old master wrote it — epic in scope, but never slow.”
But the buzz isn’t limited to literary critics. Singer-songwriter Patti Smith and playwright Daniel Kehlmann are among the high-profile fans praising the instant best seller as “exquisite” and “dreamlike.”
So, yes, the hype is real. Lázár is quickly becoming the breakout novel everyone will be reading this year. Cue the movie deal — let's get Joe Wright on the phone.
