The Island of Corfu in Greece is known as the Emerald Isle. William
Shakespeare's metaphorical play, "The Tempest," was derived from
the island's thunderous autumnal storms. Henry Miller, as well as
Gerald and Lawrence Durrell, once called Corfu home. It is an
island of intense beauty with fertile green land, golden beaches,
turquoise waters, a beautiful Venetian-built city, and one of the
most gregarious - and sometimes one of the most treacherous -
cultures in Europe. More than a million people from all over the
world visit Corfu each year, and over 30,000 expatriates live year
round on the island. GOOD MORNING CORFU: LIVING ABROAD AGAINST ALL
ODDS chronicles the experiences and observations of an American
expatriate living on this Mediterranean outpost of dizzying
extremes. From wide-eyed wonder to cultural and personal confusion,
from unbridled joy to deep despair, and from empathy to outright
loathing, these short essays examine both local and expatriate
lifestyles through the lens of one deeply immersed yet forever
removed, fundamentally involved yet perpetually on the perimeter of
a most curious culture. Even more than a journal of events and
experiences, the essays consider many of life's more profound
issues and concerns with insight, optimism and humor.
