Keiron Pim, author of Endless Flight: The Life of Joseph Roth, joined LBI's Book Club to discuss The Radetzky March. Set during the doomed splendor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family, tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise, tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve of World War I, when all is set to fall apart. A rich and luminous masterpiece, moving, compassionate, witty and dramatic, The Radetzky March is one of the great reading pleasures of 20th-century literature. (description taken from Granta Books)
Pim is also the author of critically-acclaimed Jumpin’ Jack Flash: David Litvinoff and the Rock’n’Roll Underworld, which was longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize and shortlisted in the Wales Book of the Year Awards’ category for Creative Non-Fiction.
