Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe is a 1991 humorous travelogue by American writer Bill Bryson. [1] It documents the author's tour of Europe in 1990, with flashbacks to summer tours he made in his college days. [2] On his 1972 tour, he travelled with his friend Matt Angerer, pseudonymised in the book as Stephen Katz, who also appeared more prominently in Bryson's later book A Walk in the Woods, as well as in The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid. [3]
Bryson's trip begins in the winter, in Hammerfest, Norway, where his goal is to see the Northern Lights. [4] He visits numerous locations throughout Europe, commenting on the various aspects of life in different parts of Europe, and comparing them to how he experienced them in his earlier visits. [4] The book ends with Bryson reaching Istanbul, Turkey, [5] looking across the Bosphorus to Asia, and considering continuing his tour.
