Michalis Bouzianis, a famous writer, is caught in a many-sided personal crisis: he must face the panic of middle age, accept a painful divorce and find a way out of a worsening writer's block that is driving him to despair. The sudden death of his father and a family secret shake many of his certainties and send him on a journey of self-discovery from New York to Athens and back. A novel about jazz, humour, the difficult relation between father and son, emigration to America, old age, memory, and the freedom to choose against family, ethnic and social constraints.
