No One in Munich

By J. S. Kross

He crossed a continent to become no one. Germany required proof - in triplicate.

Mateus arrives in Munich with a suitcase, a coat that will prove insufficient, and one modest ambition: in a city where nobody knows him, he will finally be nobody at all - free of every version of himself that other people assembled behind his back.
Bavaria has other plans. To be no one here, he discovers, you must first prove you are someone: registered, certified, insured, punctual. The state files him as a system error. The office mistakes his silence for brilliance. The bakery names him "the young man with the accent" - a title he will hold for the rest of his life.
And then there is Vroni Huber: an auditor who treats God as an unaudited claim and fear as a number you can carry, and who refuses, from the first grey letter, to turn Mateus into a version of anyone.
Told in 106 short chapters of deadpan precision, No One in Munich is a love story disguised as paperwork - a wry, tender novel about immigration, bureaucracy, and the discovery that a name is not something you own. It is something other people agree to attempt.

For readers who like their comedy dry, their sentences sharp, and their love stories filed correctly.
