Another life

Theodor Kallifatides

"A rewarding philosophical essay on memory, language, love, and the passage of time. In this slim memoir, Kallifatides struggles to come to terms with the weight of writer's block and understand the interplay of meaningful living and meaningful work. But he also comments on the worrying trends in contemporary Europe and his sadness at the battered state of his beloved Greece. Finally, he rediscovers home--both physically and once again within language."--
