NOTES

Mirroring her life's journey to Homers 8th century B.C.E. epic, The Odyssey, Eva-Marie Schrankl creatively weaves her autobiography through the changing global landscape of the 20th century, bringing major political and social issues to life. By listening to the sirens call, Eva, unlike Ulysses, is able to glean wisdom without falling prey to their curse, ultimately finding peace and happiness. Quo Vadis artistically delivers an arresting account of universal themes, such as ethics, morality, art, family and existential loneliness in a way that is playful and profound. This book makes a beautiful case of life's endless surprises, uncovering truths with language that, for all of its formal experimentation, is intimate and poignantly real
