From Nowhere With Love: A Novel The main character of the novel From Nowhere with Love leaves his homeland in 1991 because he feels that things will go wrong and that his, until then, common name will suddenly sound like a call to violence. As an exile who "didn't get lost but didn't find himself" he wanders from the north to the south of the continent, finding no solace even in the intoxicating magma of memories. After the episode in Rome, he finds a temporary home in Amsterdam, in a country and city "where dreams are unwelcome" and he persistently dreams them. One woman, and one book, should close the circle of his life.
