A novel about two sixteen year old boys who are classmates at the same exclusive school. Hans is a Jewish middle-class intellectual, Konradin a rich gentile aristocrat. They form an intense friendship. A year later it is over. Nothing remarkable in that - except that this is the 1930s and we are in Germany.
"The interesting question now is what is the "greatest book we've never heard of" (Stoner's tag)? Fred Uhlman's Reunion (1971), to be published in July, might follow in Stoner's footsteps... Watch this space" Independent "I think if I had to agitate for one under-mentioned title it would probably be Reunion... Maybe readers think they have read the story before. But I urge you to give it a try; it is short, and moving. I know that's not the same as stumbling across it somewhere in the stacks...but perhaps it can qualify as a treasure all the same" Paris Review "Melancholy and elegiac with a very effective final twist of the plot" The Times "Finely concise, tender and most painful" Sunday Times "A minor masterpiece. Uhlman succeeds in lending his narrative a musical quality which is both haunting and lyrical" -- Arthur Koestler
Fred Uhlman, born in Stuttgart in 1901, claimed that his South-West German homeland of Wurttemberg, made him a "romantic" for life and formed the essence of his sensibilities as a poet. Understandable since it was also the home of Schiller, Holderlin, Morike, Weiland, Uhland, Schlegel, Hegel, Schelling and Herman Hesse. Uhlman's name is not out of place among these, and the beauty of that birthplace illuminates every line of his stunning fictional memoir Reunion. He died in 1985.
