Πλατεία Κλαυθμώνος

The first year of the Colonels' dictatorship through the eyes of a nineteen-year-old law student: his arrest in the little garden of Klafthmonos Square and his wanderings in the homosexual world of the time. Looking back on how he came of age, the young narrator also dives into the murky depths of his family: his mother, his father, who travelled on freighters and tankers, and the third person who used to come and go in the house.
