Surviving Euphoria: Selected Writings on Politics, Travel, and Life in Europe Jason P. Marsh

Married for only four months, the author and his wife set out on the adventure of a lifetime. Motivated by an unfulfilling job and a shared wanderlust, they decide to enter the realm of international teaching. Written at the most recent peak of anti-American sentiment, the author recalls stories and events in an almost conversational style that tell of life in Europe from a bottom up perspective. Those personal tales are then placed into the larger geopolitical and cultural context of the time. At times critical, at times humorous, but always deeply personal, Surviving Euphoria is as fun and thought provoking of a read as you'll find.
