A chance encounter startles Hugo Kaltenbrunner, celebrated columnist with The Times, into returning to Berlin, where, twenty-five years earlier, he left under a cloud while working for the enigmatic promoter Gustav Meier. Through a calamitous chain of events, Hugo becomes an unwitting participant in the politics of Soviet-controlled East Berlin, swept into forces far greater than himself.
At its core, Hugo is a literary novel of identity and existential uncertainty. Combining psychological precision with restrained prose reminiscent of Graham Greene and the finest postwar European fiction, it explores the uneasy distance between what human beings know and what they are capable of becoming.
