    Nice writing & enjoyable reading.
    It analyzes the transmission of information on matters of faith within Greek borders at all levels and channels of communication.
    Always with the author's unique style.

    There are many excerpts that slow down the narration, but you can skip them and find the essence in the author's direct storytelling.

Description & Specifications

In the country where popular saints, dead for three centuries, demand to have their vestments changed every twenty-five years, and illiterate monks converse with lizards or throw Darwin in the trash, even the most paranoid monstrosity is integrated into a peculiar "normality," while at the same time any attempt to articulate even a rudimentary "rational discourse" is considered "outrageous," if not dictated by the Devil himself. Above and behind this medieval regression, in the hard core of the European Union, with the consent of political authorities and justice conspicuously absent, a monstrous "collection mechanism" is set up around uncontrolled "sacred relics" and blatant "miracle frauds" with incalculable profits. Petros Tatsopoulos, eighteen years after the bittersweet Kindness of Strangers, returns with a high-intensity autobiographical narrative and with the unwavering intention to call things by their name.

Read an excerpt

When you do not know your biological father, as is the case with me, the Devil is not the worst possible scenario. I mean, when you are of unknown paternity, you are at risk at any moment of coming face to face with the first person who somewhat resembles you and claims to be that unwitting sperm donor who fertilized your biological mother towards the end of March 1959 so that you could be born nine months later. It goes without saying that, as the years go by, this possibility decreases significantly and at my age—I have now turned sixty-four—the possibility tends to zero, given that my biological father, if he is still alive, must be at least eighty-five, if not ninety. Very unlikely, though not entirely impossible. I give myself another five years to examine with cautious optimism any unknown old man who approaches me on the street or takes the brave decision to call me. Never say never.
