My Way to Canossa, (Paperback)

Thoroughly absurd and yet all-too-real, <i>My Way to Canossa</i> follows four journeys that re-imagine the Middle Ages amid the political and technological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.<br>It isn't an historical novel. It's an investigation of how the present uses the past.<br>In the midst of a world-wide financial crisis, an American history buff flies to Germany, rents a minivan, picks up some passengers and sets off on a journey across the Alps.<br>The year is 2009, but in the minivan, it's 1077.<br><i>My Way to Canossa</i> explores: <ul><li>a Canadian self-help book for men, with roots in the anti-Semitic movement of 19th century Germany, </li><li>an ultra-Catholic biography of a warrior princess, marketed to teenage girls, </li><li>and pop-feminist telenovelas full of wish fulfillment fantasies, </li></ul>...all interwoven with the history buff's blog.
