Nelio Biedermann, the 22-year-old Swiss wunderkind whose debut novel, Lázár, was just released in English, has been compared to every author under the sun, from Márquez to Mann. Does his output really measure up, or are Biedermann's publicists just banking on American readers not knowing who Thomas Mann is? Find out in this week's podcast, featuring a spirited debate between the editors of The Meow Library.

The English translation of Lázár is available through Simon and Schuster.

This podcast is sustained by sales of the internationally bestselling Meow: A Novel, which has been favorably compared to Ulysses.
