Translated by Bill Johnston.

Inspired by Jack Kerouac's On the Road, Andrzej Stasiuk, Poland's most accomplished living prose writer, takes readers into the "forgotten Europe."

In this delightful collection of essays -- by turns wry and reflective, wistful and witty -- contemporary Polish writer Andrzej Stasiuk turns his attention to the villages and small towns of Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Albania, and of course his native Poland. Stasiuk travels to places no tourist would think of visiting, and in his characteristically lyrical prose, lays out his own unique and challenging perspective on the fascinating, unknown heart of Central Europe. He reminds us of the area's extraordinarily rich cultural and ethnic makeup, explores its literature, and shows how its history is inscribed permanently in its landscapes. Above all, he describes with fascination how past, present, and future co-exist and intertwine along the highways and back roads of the region.
