Pfitz

Pfitz is a novel by Scottish physicist and author Andrew Crumey. It concerns an 18th-century German prince who dedicates his life to the construction of imaginary cities. The name Pfitz is taken from an inhabitant of one of the prince's fanciful cities, Rreinnstadt.[1]

In 1997, the book was named a notable book of the year by The New York Times.[2] Andrew Miller of The New York Times said it, "makes for rewarding reading -- cerebral, adroit, not afraid to take chances but never allowing itself to be seduced by theory, by mere cleverness."[3]
