Release Date: September 3, 2024

About The Book:

Fleischl Berger is an ordinary young man at the turn of the 20th century whose world is turned upside down after an unexplainable near death experience. Determined to prove that what happened to him was real, and to overcome the efforts of a powerful society couple bent on ruining him, Fleischl pursues his fate from the Great War to the other Great War—from his rise as an unlikely silent film star to the rise of the Nazi Party; from a mother he never knew to a father he loses to the sea; and from his first glimpse of a mercurial girl destined for stardom to the great love of his life she becomes.

PRAISE FOR THE ELECTRIC LOVE SONG OF FLEISCHL BERGER:

“David Rocklin has given us a magical, electrifying, unforgettable epic. The Electric Love Song of Fleischl Berger is written with exquisite sensitivity, skill, and scope. An electric current pulses through these vivid pages which are filled with lovers and lunatics, dreamers and drowned hearts, magic, moving pictures, and families lost and found and lost again. A memorable tale of the ties that matter most.”– Mark Sarvas, author of Memento Park, Harry, Revised, and @UGMAN (Fall 2024)

“David Rocklin has written a tantalizing gem of a novel, uniquely original, achingly human, andunexpectedly timely. An ode to passion, in all its soaring and heart-wrenching forms, The Electric Love Song of Fleischl Berger orchestrates the convergence of art, science, and magic at the dawn of the 20th century. This is a book for the ages that speaks urgently to today.”– Aimee Liu, author of Flash House and Glorious Boy

“What I always hope for from a book is that feeling of awe, of being transported to another reality. And from the opening scene of Rocklin’s astounding new novel (a Jewish baby born in the electricity that kills his mother and breaks his father!) I was enraptured. Fleischl Berger grows up into manhood yearning for the mother he never got to meet and for the father who is far too wounded to love. This is a story about great losses and great loves, about how people and countries change, with characters so vivid, you swear they are right beside you, holding your arm, whispering their stories in your ear. All of it is written in prose so startlingly beautiful that not only do the words ignite the story, but they make you see the world differently. “All stories are written with love,” says a character, and to say I love this book would be an understatement.”– Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
