Nikos K. Vavdinoudis


Forty years, almost one, of a family of insignificant people who crossed the ocean in the hope of sleeping on their fill. A man and a woman set foot on the Big Apple in 1913, accustomed to fast sleeps without dreams. The over-shaped American Dream takes a long time to visit them. And when it does arrive, it lasts only a short time. They fall roughly in love, marry in haste. They bear children. Disappointment comes home or starts at home. They have a peculiar love, solidified by habit and fear. As if there is not enough for their children. The son, a veteran of the Pacific, a painter by vain talent and a painter for a living, writes their story as he lives his own. He carries them as memories, dowry and curse. People from the past appear seeking interest that the parents never had time to pay off.
