Motivated to expatriate by guilt after helping to design guidance
systems for the U.S. Military, Doran Seeger has lived the past
decade in Europe. Wandering from country to country, he has
encountered new societies and new ideas, though he still struggles
to appease his conscience. Living in Prague and working as an
underground art dealer, a chance encounter with the sister of his
former lover persuades him to return to Greece, where a society
that embraces real civility tenderly draws the habitual itinerant
out of reticence and cynicism. With his longtime Greek friend
Modestos Thromos by this side, Doran plants a winter garden; and as
he patiently tills the Grecian soil, he reclaims his integrity, his
sense of joy, and his humanity.
