Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when you look back at your life and realize that every version of yourself was a different person?

In 1989, Nick is eighteen years old, lonely, restless, and desperate to escape the small world he has outgrown. A chance invitation to a birthday party introduces him to a circle of artists, dreamers, musicians, and drifters living through the aftermath of communism's collapse in Eastern Europe.

What follows is a journey through first love, heartbreak, friendship, ambition, migration, and reinvention. From the blissful languor of endless summer days on the Black Sea coast to the challenges of a new life in Paris, Nick searches for meaning, connection, and a place where he truly belongs.

Told with honesty, humor, and the perspective of a man looking back from his fifties, Phases explores the seasons of a life: the people who shape us, the opportunities we chase, the mistakes we cannot avoid, and the quiet moments that ultimately define who we become.
