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 '€œculture as spectacle,'€ Jay must navigate the chaotic world of post'€“Cold War Europe as he chases the specter of a literary legend.
