Ransmayr doesn't do anything very surprising with this kind of subject-matter, but he has the good journalist's instinct for picking out a few characteristic local people and their stories to provide a framework for the things he wants us to know about the place he's discussing. The writing at its best is tight and compelling — and, where appropriate, also very funny, e.g. in the Hapsburg piece — but there are a few pieces where he seems to have no very clear aim in view, e.g. the essay on television. I think he's at his most interesting when he's talking about how small communities work in the modern world, and the conflicting pressures they are under to create jobs, protect the environment, or entertain visitors.
