Description

The collection of short stories What's New from the Krishenwelt Camp? consists of seven tales about Greece during the crisis. A racist hate crime prompts an elderly woman to reconsider her values, a petty bourgeois loses his business and his life without ever understanding what lies behind his destruction, the inhumane treatment of the elderly by a system that considers them a burden, the sin of a clergyman, and the surprise of solidarity... Simple stories, of simple people... Like a diary of the crisis.

“He was arrested for arson. The night before he set fire to his store. Apparently to collect the insurance. But he didn't do it well, amateurish work; he left behind evidence, not to mention that a hundred people saw him entering his shop at ten, coming out a little later, locking it - some, who also saw it that night - said he was agitated, that his hands were trembling, and immediately afterward the store was engulfed in flames. When the first flames appeared, he was still very close. He had delayed somewhat, lighting a cigarette, then, they said, he bent down and tied his shoelaces. Some eyewitnesses recalled that he kept looking towards the shop. And a lady remembered his gaze. “Strange gaze,” she said to the investigator, “as if he had killed a person.”
