Here’s a part of of Tiffany’s review:<\/p>\n

Many authors are compared to Roberto Bola\u00f1o. However, very few authors have the privilege of having a Roberto Bola\u00f1o quote on the cover of their work; and at that, one which states, \u201cGood readers will find something that can be found only in great literature.\u201d You will find this on the covers of Andres Neuman\u2019s works. In addition, Music & Literature<\/em> claims \u201cNeuman has transcended the boundaries of geography, time, and language to become one of the most significant writers of the early twenty-first century.\u201d Based on Neuman\u2019s introduction to the English-speaking audience with his novel Traveler of a Century_\u2014which I still personally believe is our modern-day _War and Peace<\/em> or Anna Karenina_\u2014I find absolute truth in the quotes from both Roberto Bola\u00f1o and _M&L<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Things We Don\u2019t Do_\u2014Neuman\u2019s latest work in English translation\u2014does not disappoint. Admittedly, I was very reluctant to shift to a male author in the midst of my Elena Ferrante and Clarice Lispector binge. However, I was quickly reminded of why one should read Neuman. Neuman\u2019s work consists of the combination of the reasons you should read Elena Ferrante and Clarice Lispector with the caveat being that Neuman\u2019s talent is in his ability to capture the voices of all genders, ages, and backgrounds in his works while bringing sparse language to a new level. As _M&L<\/em> said, Neuman transcends time, but also literary history and talent. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
