Literary sensation Lázár by Nelio Biedermann will Literary sensation Lázár by Nelio Biedermann will be on many TBR lists this summer. His debut historical novel has caused a stir beyond Hungary, where it’s set, and is a good first stab from the 22-year-old author. It’s the riches to rags story of the aristocratic Lázár family living through the upheavals of the 21st century. Who doesn’t crave a sweeping historical fiction novel? And Biedermann succeeds- almost.
