The Things We Don't Do

PRAISE FOR Traveller Of The Century Shortlisted for the 2013 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award

“A beautiful, accomplished novel: as ambitious as it is generous, as moving as it is smart”

Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Guardian

“Rarely comes a novel that blends poetry, history, philosophy, semantics, politics, a murder mystery — and love, that too — with such skill… Neuman takes his readers on a literary pilgrimage, back to the essence, and reminds us why we loved stories so much even as little children”

Elif Shafak

“A big, utterly captivating murder mystery and love story, full of history and politics and the hottest sex in contemporary fiction”

Daily Telegraph

PRAISE FOR

Talking to Ourselves

“Simple, profound, heartbreaking”

The New York Times

“This is writing of a quality rarely encountered, which actually feels as though it touches on reality, translating something experienced into words, without loss of detail or clarity… When you read Neuman’s beautiful novel, you realize a very high bar has been set”

Guardian

“Andrés Neuman’s gem of a novel… is a profound meditation on illness, death and bereavement and brilliantly illustrates literature’s ability to help readers confront and understand mortality… Neuman is a master craftsman”

Independent on Sunday

“The book does not attempt to find coherence beyond each narrator’s individual account, which is precisely what makes it so affecting”
