'How often, honestly, does the unveiling in translation of a 'forgotten genius' live up to the hype? Well here's one that does: Raduan Nassar' Times Literary Supplement 'I felt the powerful strength of my family overrunning me like a heavy rush of water' For Andr???, a young man growing up on a farm in Brazil, life consists of 'the earth, the wheat, the bread, our table and our family'.
