The first takes place in East Berlin in the 1970s and features an unnamed Hungarian writer ensnared in a love triangle with a young German and a famous aging actress. The second, composed by the writer, is the story of a late nineteenth century German aesthete whose experiences mirror his own. And the third voice is that of a friend from the writer's childhood, who brings his own unexpected bearing to the story. Compared by critics to Proust, Mann, and Joyce, this sensuous tour de force is \"unquestionably a masterpiece\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New Republic)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePéter Nádas\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eA Book of Memories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe End of a Family Story\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLove. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives in Gombosszeg, in western Hungary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50503226032402,"sku":"9780312427962","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cbf8571c-0a49-41ee-a5ed-5cbab2264083.jpg?v=1730785579","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-book-of-memories-9780312427962","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
