To be expected, there's a lot of eurocentrist historiography in this text, but it's only meant to be a very general overview before I delve into more specific books, especially the revisionist historiographies that center on the contributions of the oppressed masses that I'm more interested in getting into after reading this normative Western overview.

The middle of this novel was a bit of a slog, but it's picking up again. This novel, while more metafictive and late modern still retains the spirit of the vintage Rezzori, his deft exhibition of language and erudition and his fearless exploration of the European consciousness.
