Nicolette Polek
A young woman investigates the disappearance of her beloved piano teacher in the snowy Carpathian mountains.
Exploring love and grief, synthetic biology, music and divinity, Ackermann is a dreamlike literary suspense for readers of Donna Tartt, Fleur Jaeggy, and Marilynne Robinson.
Sasha, a dental assistant in a Carpathian mountain town, has fallen in love with her piano teacher, Ackermann. After seven years of lessons, she thinks she knows him well: his preference for whitefish and duck, his work as an environmental columnist, his place in the yellow chair by the fireplace while she plays. Until one day when, at the appointed time, his chair remains empty, and Ackermann is found shot dead beneath the snow. On Sasha’s search for answers, she becomes entangled with a detective, an ice fisherman, a employee of a new biotech lab in the salt mines, and a pastor at the local church, where she discovers Ackermann’s final obsession for a Russian composer’s unfinished work—one which, once performed, would bring about the end of the world and raise humanity to a new state of consciousness. Ackermann is a thrilling exploration of forgiveness, corruption, and the possibility for transcendence.

“Nicolette Polek is one of those rare writers who can approach the largest questions—faith, despair, art, God—with restraint and precision and grace and musicality. I’d read her write about paint drying. She’d make it an allegory for our entire existence.”
(Madeline Cash, author of Lost Lambs)“An exquisite jewel.”
(Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer Prize–winning author)“Polek’s Ackermann is the first masterpiece of mystical realism since Housekeeping. She discovers the path, concealed within each moment of life, that leads out of it. When I listen closely to the book’s angular humor I hear the laughter of angels.”
(Michael Clune, author of Pan)
