| book description |

Patrik, who sometimes calls himself â€œthe patient,â€ is a literary researcher living in present-day Berlin. The city is just coming back to life after lockdown, and his beloved opera houses are open again, but Patrik cannot leave the house and hardly manages to get out of bed. When he shaves his head, his girlfriend scolds him, â€œWhat have you done to your head? I donâ€™t want to be with a prisoner from a concentration camp!â€ He is supposed to give a paper at a conference in Paris, on the poetry collection Threadsuns by Paul Celan, but he canâ€™t manage to get past the first question on the registration form: â€œWhat is your nationality?â€ Then at a cafÃ© (or in the memory of being at a cafÃ©?), he meets a mysterious stranger. The manâ€™s name is Leo-Eric Fu, and somehow he already knows Patrikâ€¦ In the spirit of imaginative homage like Roberto BolaÃ±oâ€™s Monsieur Pain, Antonio Tabucchiâ€™s Requiem, and Thomas Bernhardâ€™s Wittgensteinâ€™s Nephew, Yoko Tawadaâ€™s mesmerizing new novel unfolds like a lucid dream in which friendship, conversation, reading, poetry, and music are the connecting threads that bind us together.
