Φεβρουάριος

In February 2011 a young man loses his wife in a car accident. A year later he decides to write a book about that loss, and about losing his job, his future, his identity and any control over his life, as the whole country suffers its own sudden losses. He has personal reasons for writing, and secrets to reveal that only a month like this one can bring out. Written in public, one chapter a day posted online during February 2012, the novel takes in what happened in Athens that month: a sudden downpour, the riots in the city centre, dozens of burned buildings, and the vote on the second memorandum.
