“I hadn't troubled to study Italian, thinking I would pick it up, like lint, on my travels, but most of the time I talked English with Lorne, or German with the Wander-vögel we met on the highway. We did learn to count, and keep track of money, and by pointing and mugging we did all right. Italians do that naturally, and just throw in the talk to be neighborly.”
Morris’s narrative set in the late spring of
1933–in the heart of the Depression—on his life-altering solo adventure to Europe.
