Description
Redraw your map of Europe. Florence is now an eye blink from Milan, (Ohio); Seville is a heartbeat away from Sudbury, (Ontario). Via Glen Downie's Desire Lines, a Europe seen to death regains its power to unsettle and personally provoke. This continental ramble offer brushes with the living and the dead, the famous and the humble. Pack your bags, and hold onto your hat.
