"Of course I had to end up here . . ." Over ten rainy nights,
Thomas, an ex-bargeman who used to be skipper of his own boat,
walks the muddy fields of the landlocked German interior and
remembers the events that lost him his home, his boat, and his
livelihood: his apprenticeship in the cold halls of the Royal Naval
College in London; the dangers of the mean streets and waterfront
of New York in the 1970s, and Poland under martial law; Germany
after the reunification, when for a year or so it seemed that the
whole country drifted rudderless, drawn by the current of history
to who knows where. In this novel from Gert Loschutz,Thomas
remembers childhood, his first love, and the warnings of his
grandfather: Beware the dark company! This mysterious band of men
and women dressed in black cast a shadow over his story, as he
wrestles with the secrets, the unplumbed depths of his soul, the
hazards lurking below a seemingly placid surface, and throughout it
all, the rain, falling night after night. Dark Company is a superb
example of a distinctly German tradition in weird fiction which
claims its roots in Kafka and Herbert Rosendorfer.
