Euro X Centric: An Outsider's Odyssey, Episode 2, Europe, Uncensored 2nd Edition with coloured fonts Paperback – Large Print, March 18, 2026

Set in 2005/2006, three years after My American Dream, this travel novel continues the adventures of the author's alias Tom Everetto, 25, in Europe, through Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. Based on the author's experiences, it is a tale of power, sex, romance, falling in love, excess, friendship, betrayal, gangsterism, art, history, philosophy, drug use, addiction and madness. Encountering eccentric characters, he discovers he is far from alone in a world of weirdos, anarchists, poets, artists, writers, philosophers, musicians, scholars and mystics. With a penchant for extreme experience, thirst for knowledge, pushing the boundaries of language and social conditioning, we learn of the rise of the Roman Empire and bizarre sex practises of the Ancient Greeks, while our protagonist encounters Neo-Nazis, gangsters, dealers and prostitutes. He hits on the ecstasy rave scene in Barcelona, cocaine in Lisbon and the red-light cannabis culture of Amsterdam. He mixes with Bohemians in Paris and visits a secret pleasure palace in Berlin. Our narrator also learns of the heroic and extravagant life of his legendary ancestor Mark Antony, and his fatal encounter with Cleopatra is mirrored in his own meeting with Femme Fatale Devana, in the style of a Romantic Tragedy. Episode II of this spellbinding journey shows us an Outsider, a man at conflict with himself and the world, with an identity crisis, and psyche on the edge of disintegration. In a desperate attempt to find meaning to his existential despair, he ventures into the heartland of his innermost predilections. This story is a recapitulation of what happened. Read more
