From a finalist for the National Book Award, a piercing novel about a writer haunted by the violence of his past and a family ruptured by war, for readers of Douglas Stuart, Jenny Erpenbeck, and Ocean Vuong.
1996: a boy raised in Finland spends the summer at his grandfather's house in Kosovo, a time that will mark him for the rest of his life, isolating him from his family and ensconcing him in a life of the mind, the complex escape of imagination.
Decades later, having grown into adulthood and built a career as a celebrated author, he travels with his mother to Kosovo, a country that has since been savaged by war, where fear still guides people's everyday lives. The journey forces him to delve into a past both real and imagined, into a mire of trauma and illness. Can memories be trusted? What can be forgiven? And what demands revenge? His questions spiral through his every interaction-with his relatives, with a family in need, with a seemingly duplicitous community leader-until he's confronted with the ultimate, the most suffocating question of all: what will it take to survive history?
Staggering in both its psychological acuity and tour-de-force prose, A Cow Gives Birth at Night shows us what it is to live a life without safety, to be drawn towards danger, and the haunting truths of what can happen in a family after the lights have been turned off.
