ANTHOLOGY | SUMMER LOVES
Editor: Elpidoforos Intzebelis
How do writers describe love and summertime? Is it just something that can be described or something more than words, something that leads to the soul?
Do we love another person or something illusory? If the being that we’re in love with is a mirror of ourselves, what happens when the reflections become a text? How are they described, since in writing the object of one’s desire is not something that exists, embodied, but only words.
In this collection, 49 authors confront this double theme as the starting point for texts that are historical, experiential, surrealistic, psychoanalytic, theatrical and political, each of them in their own unique way. Their stories resemble a wide-open window in the same house, where the whole of the Greek reality resides. They express tenderness, nostalgia, desire, bitterness, agony, innocence, pain, joy, loneliness, hope, and countless other emotions. An invisible thread connects the words, giving us an impressive panoramic view, where love and summer bring back memories that attract us and redeem us.
