Synopsis

Readers are invited to function, in a sense, as tourists as the stories move through experiences of a terrestrial journey to East Germany, Pompeii, Tunisia, and Greece. These stories verge on the surreal, mythological invocations of Nordic legend, allegorical accounts of the artistic quest, and images of totalitarian injustice.
