Wheeler Burden is the last heir of the famous Boston banking Burdens; he's also a philosopher, student of history, legend's son, rock idol, writer, lover of women, recluse, half-Jew and Harvard baseball hero. Wheeler lives in San Francisco, and so it is with some surprise that he comes to one day in 1897 Vienna where, coincidentally, it's 91 years before his last memory and half a century before his own birth. Indeed, it's a shock to realise that he's now older than his father (a WW2 hero), and indeed much older than his grandfather (a man of rather uncertain temper). And when Wheeler meets the delectable Wheezie, and they fall in love, things start to get complicated - and then some - once Wheeler discovers Wheezie holds the key to a crucial secret, a secret she's completely oblivious to...Helped (or hindered) by, among others, Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain, Gustav Mahler and Buddy Holly, Wheeler has to unravel a lifetime of memories before he can discover who he really is or what's gone on

Those that enjoy linear books that start at the beginning and go to the end should stop here. This book isn't for you. But for those who can manage a very non-linear book, you're in for a treat. "The Little Book" details the adventures of 70s rock star Wheeler Burden, who is somehow transported to Vienna at the end of the century, a time he is quite prepared for, thanks to his private college tutor. The people Wheeler meets and how their lives interact and change all integrate into a great story, well-told.
