Άντρες χωρίς άντρες

Post-war Greece as lived by an obscure paramilitary informer and by his only son, who has escaped his troubled family and now lives and works in Paris. Two generations of men, suspended between great events and private ills, face the most critical reckoning of their lives, on an unpredictable path from the hard years after the Civil War and the 1967 dictatorship to the upheaval after the junta and the economic crisis of 2010. The novel grew from a line in a declassified security-police file from the dictatorship, about a paid informer who spied on students and was dismissed for homosexuality, whose thin biography the author fills in with fiction.
