Book excerpt: • An extraordinary and absorbing novelisation of one family’s tale of Holocaust survival and a grandson’s unrelenting dedication to ensuring his ancestor’s stories will never be forgotten • The Book of Dirt reimagines the lives of Jakub Rand, a rabbi’s son who is tasked with curating Eichmann’s infamous Museum of the Extinct Race, and Františka Roubíčkova, a converted Jew who would go on to establish a smuggling network that would stretch as far as Auschwitz • Presser began writing the novel after seeing an article in the local community paper that purported to tell a very different version of his grandfather’s fabled Holocaust story. Presser subsequently embarked on a seven-year search across four continents to uncover the truth • With elements of magical realism and innovative storytelling, The Book of Dirt is an imaginative and bold novel about family myths – how they come to be formed, the way in which they are perpetuated and what happens when we subject them to scrutiny • Bram Presser is a much-loved Melbourne personality, known for his involvement in the local music scene and Jewish community. He is a criminal lawyer and community activist
