Once best known as the voice behind the popular literary blog The Elegant Variation that championed favorite writers and called out subpar writing and reviewing, Mark Sarvas is now an internationally lauded novelist in his own right.

Memento Park, his second novel is loosely based on his family’s history and maintains his signature viewpoint and undertone of humor while delivering a new take on what it means to be the child of a Holocaust survivor. It’s a riveting mystery about art reparation, family secrets, and how challenging it can be to know who we are. Memento Park is now available in paperback.
