Synopsis
The book investigates the transformation of Europe from the street level 'from riot and revolution to sporting culture and sexual adventure'.
Reception
In The Independent Christopher Hirst described the work as 'lively' and in The Financial Times the book was praised as an 'enjoyably idiosyncratic and provocative journey'. A lengthy review was also published in The Times Literary Supplement where the book was described as an 'unromanticised, sweeping and informed cultural history of European cities in the long twentieth century'.
