Book summaryA bestseller in Europe, German comedian Hape Kerkeling's facetious travel memoir describes his pilgrimage, along with 100,000 other worshipers, across the Pyrenees to the grave of St. James at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Naturally lazy and unserious by nature, Kerkeling skips the most arduous parts of the trek by hitching rides and riding trains. His encounters with pilgrims and the local people provide opportunities for comic asides and bits of good-natured philosophy and soul-searching. Media reviews"Kerkeling's account of his travels...was a bestseller in Germany, possibly because it is so easy to identify with him. [Kerkeling's] encounters with fellow pilgrims...can be both funny and moving." |
