Outline |
You could sum up this book as people speaking for themselves. The narrator - teaching creative writing for a week in Athens - encourages the people she meets to recount themselves in almost uninterrupted monologues, punctuated by occasional needle-sharp observations on life and human behaviour. Almost nothing happens. The result is a sort of compendium of widely varying accounts of facing life, relating to each other, surviving failed relationships. It's a book to loath or love. I loved it.
