Berlin, Spring of 1995. While a group of neo-Nazis are preparing an
anniversary bash of disastrous proportions, an old physics professor
returns to Potsdam to atone for his sins, an Italian postdoc designs
an experiment that will determine the fate of the universe, and, in a
room at Le Charité, a Holocaust survivor tells his tale to the willing
ear of a young psychologist. Who is that talking cat, why do ghosts of
SS soldiers roam the city, and what is Speer’s favorite actress up to?

Moving back and forth between the main stages of the past
century—Berlin united and divided, Boston, Los Alamos, Auschwitz—Omega
Minor is a novel of big ideas, a tale of survival of the soul cast in
a whirlwind plot that is in turns smart, inquisitive, funny, violent,
nutty, pornographic, moving, deeply compassionate, and profoundly
moral. Or not.

Do scars ever heal? Can history be transcended? And will love, for
once, save the world? Welcome to Omega Minor, where nothing is ever
what it seems and nothing ever ends.
