This month, we're thrilled to introduce one of the most imaginative and original novels we've had the pleasure to read in a long time. The Little Book is a genre-bending novel that defies categories. At once a time-travel adventure, a tightly woven mystery, a love story that spans generations, an unconventional family saga, an intriguing tour of fin de siècle Vienna and-most of all-a rousing good read, it's a masterpiece of storytelling, one that announces the arrival of one of the most inventive novelists of our time. One moment, Wheeler Burden is a rock star living large in 1980s California, the next, he's stumbling around a strangely familiar 1897 Vienna. Confused, he sets about trying to adapt to his new life, befriending a group of Viennese intellectuals, finding a mentor in Sigmund Freud, falling for a luminous American woman, accosting an 8-year-old Adolph Hitler and even meeting the father he never knew. But what propelled him back in time? Is his presence in 19th-century Vienna preordained, or is he changing the course of history? Unraveling this mystery reveals some surprising truths-and thrusts him into some of the most momentous events of the 20th century.
