'A mysterious, subtle, haunting novel.' Chris Power 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. 'Chaudhuri has already proved
that he can write better than just about anybody of his
generation.' Jonathan Coe
