Johannes Lichtman
How many lives can collide over the course of a single spring day? In Intention, Lichtman’s quietly electrifying third novel, a chance encounter sets in motion a chain of reckonings that exposes the fault lines between art, ethics, and responsibility.
Birgitta is a celebrated mystery writer whose career was launched by a novel drawn from a real family’s tragedy—and whose account of that book’s publication has become part of her public legend. Noah is a journalist assigned to interview her about her efforts to support Ukrainians amid political crisis. When they meet, admiration and suspicion intermingle: Noah is dazzled by Birgitta’s elegance and success but questions both the ethics of her work and the story she tells about how her defining book came to be published; Birgitta, in turn, bristles at Noah’s judgments about her privilege and moral authority, while feeling diminished by family life. Their brief exchange reverberates throughout the day, unsettling assumptions each holds about goodness, guilt, and what it means to do the “right thing.”
Told in alternating perspectives, Intention traces the nearly invisible turns of fate that pull people toward—or away from—one another. With intelligence, restraint, and moral clarity, Lichtman examines the liberties writers take with real lives, and whether acts of generosity can ever fully redeem past harm. At once witty and grave, Intention is a novel of regret and accountability—a mature, searching work that captures how quickly, and irrevocably, everything can change.

Recensies van critici
“If you ever wondered what would happen if Milan Kundera wrote a Virginia Woolf novel, then you’re in luck: Lichtman’s brilliant novel of ideas explores the notion of what we owe to others. . . .A sly, lovely, moving gem of a book.”
—Eric Puchner, New York Times bestselling author of Dream State
“Hypnotic, exquisitely written. . . .A clear-eyed yet generous interrogation of our good intentions from one of the smartest writers of his generation.”
—Erin Somers, author of The Ten Year Affair
“To see a story while you're inside it, you need a kind of moral periscope—with a loop-the-loop twist...Lichtman's new novel is that ingenious periscope, assembled with a watchmaker's fine hand out of the gem-like splinters of colliding points of view.”
—Caleb Crain, author of Overthrow
“A superb novel about ethical messiness….A sly, potent book about the risks of being wrong and also about the relief of admitting it.”
