Translated by Mary Kitroeff
Greece's most acclaimed living novelist gives us a magical realist portrait of contemporary Europe and contemporary Europeans. Here are seven tales that explore the themes of materialism, post-Cold War politics, love, religious faith, and the power of imagination. In the tradition of Gabriel García Marqúez and Luigi Pirandello, Vassilis Vassilikos writes of the fantasies within reality, the spirit in existence, and the art within life.
