Europe Crosswise

Being on the road - the ultimate litany?I am simply a traveling explorer conducting research without a commission specialty or expertise.In this semi-fictional account Blixa Bargeld recounts life on tour in 2008 with Einstürzende Neubauten - from Lisbon to Moscow Oslo to Naples criss-crossing Europe. Along the way we encounter mind numbing routines interesting restaurants (good and bad) colorful museums rocky bus rides mundane hotels odd characters and old friends - they're all there. Along with the structure holding it all together namely a recurring setlist that is invoked as a litany. In the end the book proves to be a declaration of love for Europe and in the current dark times we are presently living through more immediate than ever.
