Description
The new novel about the present, the past, and the slippage between private and public life-from a writer who has 'like Proust, mastered the art of the moment.' (Hilary Mantel)An unnamed man arrives in Berlin as a visiting professor.
It is a place fused with Western history and cultural fracture lines.
He moves along its streets and pavements; through its department stores, museums and restaurants.
He befriends Faqrul, an enigmatic exiled poet, and Birgit, a woman with whom he shares the vagaries of attraction.
He tries to understand his white-haired cleaner. Berlin is a riddle-he becomes lost not only in the city but in its legacy. Sealed off in his own solitude, and as his visiting professorship passes, the narrator awaits transformation and meaning.
Ultimately, he starts to understand that the less sure he becomes of his place in the moment, the more he knows his way.
