The extraordinary tale of Wheeler Burden, California-exiled heir of the famous Boston banking Burden's , philosopher, student of history, legend's son, rock idol, writer, lover of women, recluse, half-Jew, and Harvard baseball hero. In 1988 Wheeler Burdon is forty-seven, living in San Francisco. Suddenly he--still his modern self--is wandering in a city and time he knows mysteriously well: fin de siecle Vienna. It is 1897, precisely ninety-one years before his last memory and a half a century before his own birth. 405 pages.
