520    Journey through Poland, Ukraine, Slovenia, and other 
       places neglected by tourists, with "an accomplished 
       stylist with an eye for telling detail" (Irvine Welsh). 
       Andrzej Stasiuk is a restless and indefatigable traveler. 
       His journeys take him from his native Poland to Slovakia, 
       Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Albania, Moldova, and Ukraine.
       By car, train, bus, ferry. To small towns and villages 
       with unfamiliar-sounding yet strangely evocative names. 
       "The heart of my Europe," Stasiuk tells us, "beats in 
       Sokolow, Podlaski, and in Husi, not in Vienna." Where did 
       Moldova end and Transylvania begin, he wonders as he is 
       being driven at breakneck speed in an ancient Audi--loose 
       wires hanging from the dashboard--by a driver in shorts 
       and bare feet, a cross swinging on his chest. In Comrat, a
       funeral procession moves slowly down the main street, the 
       open coffin on a pickup truck, an old woman dressed in 
       black brushing away the flies above the face of the 
       deceased. On to Soroca, a baroque-Byzantine-Tatar-Turkish 
       encampment, to meet Gypsies. And all the way to Babadag, 
       between the Baltic Coast and the Black Sea, where Stasiuk 
       sees his first minaret, "simple and severe, a pencil 
       pointed at the sky." A brilliant tour of Europe's dark 
       underside -- travel writing at its very best.
