«Europa» is Tim Parks's black comedy novel, published by Vintage in paperback (272 pages, in English).
Jerry Marlow, a British professor teaching at an Italian university, travels by bus to Strasbourg to demand better working conditions from the European Parliament. He goes with colleagues he detests and with the woman who broke his heart; jealousy, revenge, passion and fear mix in the claustrophobia of the journey, in a dark comedy about obsessive love.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 1997.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and black humor with a European and academic setting.
Timothy Harold Parks is a British novelist who has lived in Italy since 1981. He is also an author of nonfiction, a translator from Italian to English, and a professor of literature.
