Nicole Krauss writes literary fiction about memory, loss, books and the ways private histories travel across generations. The History of Love links an elderly man in New York, a teenage girl and a manuscript whose history connects several lives affected by migration and the Holocaust. Great House follows a writing desk as it passes among different owners, using the object to connect stories of family, displacement and secrecy. Forest Dark moves between two protagonists whose lives lead them towards Israel and questions of identity or reinvention. Krauss's prose is lyrical, fragmented and structurally layered, fitting contemporary literary fiction, Jewish American literature and multi-strand novels about memory, objects and inherited history.
