A journey full of love, denial and danger, where fiction is not
that distant from reality. The answers will be found at Bar
Flaubert. One man's quest to discover and understand the driving
force behind an aspiring novelist who's written words seem to echo
his innermost thoughts. Both a search for identity and an
intriguing family saga, this tale follows the journey-filled with
love, denial, and danger-undertaken by a young man who tries to
discover why a novel by an aspiring writer seems to echo his own
innermost thoughts. In Barcelona, Berlin, and Florence, he traces
his Greek family's many connections and at last uncovers a
mysterious ancestor who links together the strands of his
investigation. Readers are taken on a journey where fiction is not
that distant from reality.
Clutching his vodka and his memories, he seeks refuge on an island
in the Cyclades. There by chance he meets a young woman who
reactivates love's vocabulary. His survival instinct faintly
reappears through the distorting mirror of alcohol. Yet the craving
is an irresistible, clever adversary that shows no mercy. He is
drawn by his love to places that affect his emotional world ever
more forcefully. Moving from Paris and Munich to London and a
mountain village in central Greece, he meets a young woman and it
becomes clear that the greatest magic is to be found in reality,
not the bottle.
