A man, nearly drowning in the depths of laughter, tries to return to a normal life, escaping from what he would never choose if he truly knew.
In a whirlwind of developments with constant twists, and feeling that his time is limited, he lives intensely the days that follow. What is right and what is wrong becomes a constant question. Laughter is no longer innocent, and someone is to blame for it.
A dark atmosphere, reminiscent of Kafka's stories, a confinement in what seems unbelievable, akin to Orwellian predictions, and a language deliberately simple yet at times embraced by the harsh existentialism of Camus.
With these materials and based on the question 'Who finally creates the unpublished jokes?', the first novel by Asteris Asteriadis unfolds between the fantastic and the potentially real, which we will never verify. A modern allegory for the course of History and the stance of man towards his fate - if such a thing exists - which leads us to wonder again: Will This World Never Change?
