Author Colm Tóibín ( The Magician) joins Galgut for a conversation on this searing story of family, history, grief, white privilege, and institutional racism. Book Reviews Damon Galgut’s The Promise is a masterpiece of guile and empathy Damon Galguts latest novel is a great family study. A family, reunited by four funerals over thirty years, remains haunted by an unmet promise, just as their country is haunted by its own failures. The winner of the 2021 Booker Prize and a New York Times Editors’ Choice, The Promise by novelist and playwright Damon Galgut ( The Good Doctor, In a Strange Room) is an epic South African drama that unfurls against the unrelenting march of history, sure to leave its readers transformed. Yet Damon Galgut’s remarkable new novel, The Promise (Europa), suggests that the demands of history and the answering cry of the novel can still powerfully converge.
