“Set in the 1960s and 1970s in a city where World War II still reverberates, Robert Seethaler’s tender novel The Café with No Name is about a Viennese restaurateur’s interactions with his acquaintances and customers. Robert, orphaned during the war, lodges with a war widow, Martha. In 1966, he trades working at a farmers’ market for starting his own business... a valedictory novel that meditates on the passage of time and bonds that last.”
