Alan hops towns and countries with ease, but no matter where he stops for gas, everything's the same--people, news, conflicts, goals, and his soft, awkward, cold self. It takes a lot of miles and coincidences and wrong turns before Alan is willing to be Alan. It's like Bill Murray's Groundhog Day on European wheels--La Grand Tour gone very wrong. Refreshing and innovative and very funny, James Meek's continental blast exemplifies the new literary energy coming out of Scotland and is an entertaining read, a perfect companion for a European tour.
