Books by Melissa Rossi

Melissa Rossi, author of What Every American Should Know about the Rest of the World, is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in Newsweek, National Geographic Traveller and Esquire. Sent all over Europe for various articles, she has lived in Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands during the past nine years, and is currently settled in Barcelona. The book itself has been written in bars and cafes in six different countries. Motivated by a fear of boredom and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Melissa Rossi's aim is to engage "the common man" in the geopolitical world. Concerned by the lack of understanding exhibited by all Europeans towards the EU, and frustrated by the EU's determination to talk in its own language, Melissa Rossi set out to bring the dynamic, fascinating - and often bizarre - elements of Europe to life.
