About this Event
Created by readers and for readers, the litty book club is a bi-monthly function and a welcoming space for strong opinions and lively conversation around a curation of litty’s prospects — newly published books the litty team believe have the best chances of ending up on critics’ end of year lists.
Join litty on Saturday, May 30 to discuss .
Hailed by the New York Times as “virtuosic… riveting… audacious,” this debut is a gothic saga capturing the rise and fall of an aristocratic Hungarian family against the backdrop of two world wars. At the turn of the 20th century, a child is born to the Lázárs. His birth brings to light the secrets, affairs, and peculiar otherworldly happenings that plague his family. Through one intergenerational epic, Biedermann paints a portrait of a nation.
This event is free to attend. You do not need to purchase the book from us to attend, but we’ll be offering a 10% discount on the title if you do. You can do so by selecting between two ticket options here.
