Damon Galgut: The Promise

with Anderson Tepper

Mar 16, 2022


But when the words are said to her aloud, she doesn’t believe them. She closes her eyes and shakes her head. No, no. It can’t be true…

Damon Galgut, in his first 92Y appearance, discusses his latest novel, The Promise, winner of the 2021 Booker Prize.

“This remarkable new novel suggests that the demands of history and the answering cry of the novel can still powerfully converge,” wrote James Wood. “It most closely resembles the work of predecessors like Woolf and Faulkner. The novel’s beautifully peculiar narration aerates and complicates this fatal family fable and turns plot into deep meditation.”
