Description
'A beautiful work that is in turn haunting, touching and redemptive' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIOREâ?~A profoundly emotional book, and a brave oneâ?T THE NEW YORKER'Generous in spirit, devoid of self-pity, and an authentic literary achievement' ANDREW SOLOMONWhen Luiz Schwarcz was a child, he knew very little about his grandfather LA¡ios, a Hungarian Jew. Only later would he learn that LA¡ios had ordered his son, Luizâ?Ts father, to leap from a train taking them to a Nazi death camp, while LA¡ios himself was carried on to his death. What Luiz did know was that his fatherâ?Ts melancholia haunted the house he grew up in. Compassionate and tender, The Absent Moon interrogates a personal story of inherited trauma through a family history of murder, silence and the long echo of the Holocaust across generations. 'Brave, honest, devastating, and hopeful ... Schwarcz is a masterful storytellerâ?T ARIANA NEUMANN'A lyrical and intimate portrait of the authorâ?Ts lifelong, harrowing battle with depression' ABRAHAM VERGHESE
