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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51433745121503,"sku":"9781940625560","price":17.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/sho61sa7M09781940625560.webp?v=1790017192","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/europe-crosswise-a-litany-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
