Specifications
Portraits of people from literature, the arts, television, and the margins coexist on these pages, telling us their exquisite yet provocative stories.
Avant-garde spaces, artistic hangouts, eclectic heroes, and the first decadent drag shows of Athens from past decades highlight a Greece that is changing, constantly transforming in the era of globalization, while friends and intellectuals desperately seek those years of joy, ecstasy, love, and explosive emotions.
Spontaneous theatrical numbers from radio shows, memories of friend comrades who lived through those astonishing years of happiness in the clubs of the border, and, in general, whatever is left from the heroic epic of This Night Stays.
A large part of the book includes texts published fifteen years ago in Athens Voice, Penthouse, and recently in the ALMANAC of Lifo, which describe, with bold and scathing humor, the habits, passions, and morals of our television stars, who – thank God – exist and continually arise like yuccas.
Of course, there are also new texts referring to the reign of cooks, electricians, Dano, and all the plumbers who suddenly, like the French Revolution, burst onto the television scene to snatch what rightfully belongs to them.
The book is accompanied by dozens of photographs of the real heroes encountered by the author. It introduces us to this universe, which is almost Almodóvar-like, a palimpsest of desire, illicit acts, revelry, passion, and the night – in other words, a hymn to life.
