Book Synopsis

One of Lit Hub''s most anticipated books of 2024 One of Bloomberg''s nine best books of the summer

Inventive . . . Whimsical . . . Fusing period atmosphere with fairy tale, Ehrlich Sachs hints at modern themes while summoning an unexpected imaginary place. The New Yorker

Sachs draws from the madcap, darkly comic tradition of postmodern European fiction to reimagine the continent's catastrophic destiny . . . Like Thomas Bernhard before him, Sachs is a very funny writer unafraid of italics and exclamation marks, which he marshals against the absurdity of the world. Dustin Illingworth, The New York Times Book Review

Adam Ehrlich Sachs continues to prove he is one of our most daring and original writers. Camille Bordas, author of How to Behave in a Crowd

A lean, seductive, and dazzlingly inventive novel that shows us the dark side of early twentieth-century Vienna.

Vienna, 1919. A
