A duet of provocative novellas that examine contemporary Greek
identity, translated by one of the foremost experts in Greek
literature From esteemed Greek writer Michel Fais comes a duet of
novellas that explore the stories we choose to tell about the lives
we pretend to live. In these stories, positioned at the fractured
heart of Greek postmodernism, Fais returns to his signature themes
of mourning, death, and absence: "the permanently open wound in my
narrative." Aegypius monachus is a semi-autobiographical snapshot
of a man roaming the streets of Athens, reflecting on his
tumultuous marriage and the childhood roots of his failure at love.
Lady Cortisol dramatizes a conversation between one man and one
woman, highlighting the miscommunications and mixed signals that
inevitably arise in dialogue with the other. Ironic and bitter,
these staccato novellas explore the ways in which we sabotage our
rare chances at love, plunging into the interior of the mind and
exposing the things we cannot say aloud.
