9781934824894: Europe in Sepia

Synopsis

Ugresic, ever the flaneur, wanders from the Midwest to Zuccotti Park, the Irish Aran Islands to Jerusalem's Mea Shearim, from the tristesse of Dutch housing estates to the riots of South London, charting everything from the listlessness of Central Europe to the ennui of the Low Countries. One finger on the pulse of an exhausted Europe, another in the wounds of post-industrial America, Ugresic trawls the fallout of political failure and the detritus of popular culture, mining each for revelation.
