He tells his agent that the rumours are true — he wrote the story without considering Ae-jeong’s feelings. As she speaks, your conversation reaching far into the early hours of the next morning, you slowly begin to understand that maybe the most important work you will ever do is the work you didn't notice, the type you did while you were running off somewhere obsessed with seeing your name on some imaginary bookshelf or festival billboard.Sometimes this left me longing for the connective tissue between the episodes; sometimes it seemed this was perhaps precisely what the narrator was longing for – each episode somehow as lonely an island as he.

I have a great interest in Berlin, and am also keen to enlarge my reading of authors of colour, so this was a serendipitous find at my local library. There are a lot of pleasures in this book: the sentence by sentence quality, the intimate and engaging voice, the evocation of Berlin and its social life, the fluid structure (and, by the way , the lovely small-format production by Rough Trade Books). There is the constant doubt about having chosen the life of an artist who will never have the financial security the narrator yearns for, even as he refuses on moral principle to make choices to achieve such security.

The few of you who make it to training are notably proud of yourselves, and the snow has the decency to wait until you have finished to flood the playing field. For the first few months you are in Berlin you are largely invisible, or at least as invisible as a dark-skinned black man in an overwhelmingly white city can be.
