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.
