Newly sober and nostalgic for the Weimar days of Isherwood and
Auden, Jed arrives to chase boys and to escape from what it means
to be a black male in America. But history, both personal and
political, can't be avoided with time or distance. Whether it's the
judgment of the cousin he grew up with and her husband's bourgeois
German family, the lure of white wine in a down-and-out bar, a gang
of racists looking for a brawl, or the ravaged visage of Rock
Hudson flashing behind the face of every white boy Jed desperately
longs for, the past never stays past, even in faraway Berlin. An
intoxicating, provocative novel of appetite, identity, and
self-construction, Darryl Pinckney's Black Deutschland tells the
story of an outsider searching for an obscure home in Europe's
brightest and darkest city. Named one of the most anticipated books
of the year by The Millions, Flavorwire, The Boston Globe, and The
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel; For readers of Teju Cole. From the
author of High Cotton comes the story of a young African American
man in divided Berlin: "The novel is full of wondrous things"
(James Wood, The New Yorker).
