The repatriates of Paris during the dictatorship - who have returned to the spotlight due to November 17 - will recognize in this elegant memoir some beautiful patterns of the Parisian atmosphere.
The originality of the book lies in the simple fact that it scorns the clichéd patterns of everyday life. There is no inclination towards picturesque writing. A champion of a worship of personality tested against the monumental works of philosophers and novelists, Apostolopoulos moves with captivating ease through the works of Malraux, Camus, Sartre, Heidegger - and of course the Greeks Castoriadis, Axelos, Xenakis, and Papaioannou - to remind readers of significant moments while simultaneously stunning them with sudden conclusions.
Within these pages flows a wise bitterness and the feeling of a youth that was not wasted - the best reward for a place that - us, the third-world provincials - spiritually resurrected to the exact extent that we could be resurrected.
