1. 1. Europe After The Rain

   

   Europe After the Rain takes its title from Max Ernst's surrealist painting, which depicts rampant destruction. In the novel an unnamed narrator travels a devastated Europe, twisted and misshapen in geography and morality, and witnesses terrible sights while maintaining an interested apathy. Burns shows how resilience of spirit, rather than despair or cynicism, becomes the means for confronting human cruelty and surviving in that ruined world.
