This book is a blend of a diary and a documentary, an autobiography and a chronicle, a confessional essay and a travelogue of the 2000s.
It speaks about the family, friends, and readings of the author. About encounters with colleagues such as Tachtsis, Samarakis, Koumantareas, and Nikos Nikolaidis. But also about his successes and failures, as for over thirty years, his books have divided even his most devoted readers.
At the same time, it discusses Bournaazi, the Metro, the Mall, OAKA, Big Brother, and the smoking ban. It touches upon the rise of women and the fall of men, the Internet, ecology, globalization, and patriotism.
For the December events of 2008, terrorism, the riots in Keratea, Lazopoulos's party, and the Indignant People in Syntagma.
In other words, this book talks about a decade that started as the definition of success: with the unshakeable belief that we became Europe, through Greece's entry into the euro and the 2004 Olympic Games. To end up, even before 2010 had expired, in the collapse of the nouveau riche facade and illusion, and sinking into an economic crisis so deep that we are now called to learn the high art of failure.
