About the Author
Reviews
This remarkable novel about a young man's search for the continuity of his portable life, among the ruins of a murdered past and in the face of a blank future, is rich with delights, insights, warranted sadness, and a longing to make sense of history.
Todd Gitlin, author of The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage and the novel Undying
Welcome to the nadir of post-employment, post-feminist, mediocre masculinity. Michael Levitin's wise, funny tale is brilliant in both its pathos and earnestness. You'll thank him afterward for this splash of world-historical cold water.

We've collectively torched the planet the last century and a half, men leading the ruination. Levitin's labyrinthian embrace of our follies, tyrants, cuckolds, and lovers, not to mention aunts who write postcards to Einstein from the gulag and stoned buddies on bikes in Poland, is laughter and memory layered over it all and delivered by a compelling, life-hammered voice you trust from page one.
Joe Sherman, author of Fast Lane on a Dirt Road and Gasp! The Swift and Terrible Beauty of Air
This picaresque novel allows us to explore not only Eastern Europe but gives us entrée into Berlin's expatriate scene and tenders a witty sociological analysis of the city's bourgeois-bohemians that is worth the price of admission. Michael Levitin, a journalist by trade and former Berlin resident, knows this turf well. This is an insightful, entertaining and multi-faceted work with something on offer for everyone.
