A headstrong young journalist goes on the adventure of a lifetime, traveling through Europe to find the world's most enigmatic philosopher Bazlo Criminale is one of Europe's most legendary living men. A mysterious novelist and thinker known for his extreme elusiveness, the beloved Criminale is a cultural icon of the highest order. Seeking to find the man behind the myth, a London television-news station hires Francis Jay, an enterprising young reporter, to find Criminale. From Vienna to Budapest to the picturesque lakeshores of Italy, Jay journeys across the continent-and even briefly to Brazil-interviewing the man's biographer, his publisher, and his former lover, all of whom have their own interests at stake. Through literary award dinners and other examples of "culture as spectacle" Jay must navigate the chaotic world of post-Cold War Europe as he chases the specter of a literary legend.

I'm really gad I picked this up and got introduced to one of the finest writing voices around, about whom I knew nothing. It's not easy to find the right trainer who is as serious about you as you are about it.. There is padding: I am not sure why we need an opening chapter on Swedish immigration to America since nothing else in the boo
