Eschewing major European cities, Stasiuk (Fado, , etc.) traveled east from his native Poland into the nearly deserted yet captivating landscapes of places off the usual tourist route, including Transylvania, Moldova, Slovenia, Romania, Ukraine and Albania. Translated from Polish, the spellbinding language captures the author's piercing insights with painful clarity; Stasiuk refuses to soften what he sees, hears and smells, providing a dynamic postcard of his travels. 'On the Road to Babadag', published in Polish in , might be described as literary travel writing, or autobiography-by-way-of-itinerary. Stasiuk wanders around Eastern Europe, avoiding major centres of population, and writing about whatever happens to claim his attention.

At the outset of Babadag he has a detailed map in hand, the "Slovak ", a reference to its scale.
