A bold and wondrous combination of dark history and beautifully delicate psychology
A D Miller, author of Booker Prize shortlisted Snowdrops
In The Jump Artist Austin Ratner gives life to a story both emblematic of the horror at the heart of the 20th century and absolutely personal in its particulars - the extraordinary life of Philippe Halsman. A terrific debut
Anna Funder, author of Stasiland
A remarkable work [that] documents a triumph of the human spirit over tremendous adversity
Harper's
Tremendous resonance ... one of the most promising debuts of the year
Publishers Weekly
Subtle, moving ... has the pace and excitement of a legal drama
The Forward
A beautifully scrupulous, intricately detailed novel about joy and despair ... like a great photograph, it seems to miss nothing, and to catch its subject in all his complexity
Charles Baxter, author of The Soul Thief
