Eight stories that form a dreamy human geography of the Thessalian plain. Eight stories-odes to orality. The man smoking in the midday sun with his fingers. Kiki who counts the layers of air syllabically. The daughter who killed and buried her mother. Kostas the Tzoumeras, in the truck of the Canadian with his crooked sleep. Yioulis at the Epitaph, in the square, where all of Larissa was crushed. Tassos the Vigas sitting in the sun's wreck. Chrysa and the unmoving fish dripping thickly from her lips. George the Zitsios who cries over his sheep.
The heroes of the book wander through human adventure, with whatever each has: a knife, a key, a hammer. Blood, murders, celebrations, disasters, loneliness. All together in the plow of myth. A new mythology, with references both to folk culture and to surrealism and magical realism, places the world in experimental disorder.
Dense images emerge from fragments of everyday life, filled with unbearable existential anxiety. Pomona by Argyris Fasoulas brings to the surface stories from below, from beyond, from nowhere, like a pump drawing water from the depths.
