A survivor of the atomic bombs dropped in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Mr Watanabe has evaded the memory for most of his nomadic life. When the 2011 earthquake strikes, triggering the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the past becomes the present, and Mr Watanabe begins a journey that will change everything. Written with intimacy and compassion, Fracture is a remarkable novel about collective trauma, love and the complexities of human life.
Andrés Neuman's Fracture was shortlisted for the Premio Dulce Chacon and the Premio San Clemente Rosalia-Abanca, and is on the shortlist for the Premio Gregor von Rizzori. His novel Traveller of the Century (2012) (El Viajero Del Siglo) won the Alfaguara Prize and the National Critics Prize, and was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. Talking to Ourselves (2014) (Hablar Solos) was longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award and shortlisted for the Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize. Neuman was named one of the original Bogotá39 and one of Granta's Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists. He was born in Buenos Aires and now lives in Granada, Spain.
