When does sex become love? Potsmoking a habit? Or English blur into Spanglish?
These are the questions that trouble 21-year-old MikaÃl Fantasma who, although born in America, doesn't feel free. Fresh out of college and with two best friends, MikaÃl purchases a one-way ticket to Europe to figure his proverbial sh!t out.
From Amsterdam, to Berlin and Corsica, new twists and turns throw the three boys to beer-pong tables, 40-person dorms and crowded trains. MikaÃl learns that sometimes chance encounters can touch the very pit of your soul. By summer's end, however, when all the weed, beer, and random hook-ups are done, will he find what he's looking for?
The Summer Abroad is a sonic adventure that explores the frontiers of language and a new American identity, one which is multilingual, multicultural, and, as the story puts it, multiconfundido.
