Abstract
The article examines a text written by contemporary Irish writer Harry Clifton with a special focus on the peculiarities of its genre: is it a real travel account of his stay in Italy or some narrative written with the aim of reflecting upon Italy during the years of the fall of the Berlin wall, upon religion and Italian life?
