The linked personal essays in "Ruin" weave together meditations on
teaching, friendship, motherhood, love, the financial meltdown in
Greece, the shared language of politics and advertising, Occupy
Wall Street, the Parthenon Marbles, and a host of other subjects
into a blistering interrogation of identity and loss. Kalfopoulou's
Athens and New York are twinned sites of perpetual dislocation,
palimpsests of political, economic, cultural--and personal--crisis.
The refugee, the immigrant, the fragmented 'I' charted in these
essays--all are studies in exilic living, fugitives from history,
pilgrims wandering the wreckage of late capitalism.
