An American. An Austrian. Two thousand kilometers.
Esther is from Fayetteville, Arkansas, has lived in Vienna for years, and has not been home to her parents in three years. She calls them every Sunday and they talk about everything except the one thing. Fred is Viennese, a former drone pilot turning carpenter, and explains films nobody has seen. He does not vote. In his family this is called, without a trace of irony, the Tradition. When Esther decides she has to leave immediately, the two of them set off: Vienna to Andalusia, to save what can be saved. The car dies in St. Moritz before they even reach Spain. After that come rental cars with no navigation, free road maps from 1998, bulls made of sheet metal, a Norwegian couple with a hot-air balloon, and a total solar eclipse missed by a hundred and seventy kilometers. And the whole time, Esther is measuring distances. A road-movie novel about two people taking the same journey and finding out along the way that it is two different ones.
