Santorini

About the Book

In August 1973, a poet contemplating suicide arrives on the Greek Cycladic island of Santorini. To make a decision of such finality requires intellectual acuity. Seeking it, he drinks ouzo and engages in existential conversations with local philosophers and rudderless travelers and in passing becomes involved with several young women. Six days on the volcanic Aegean island thought by some to be the Lost Continent of Atlantis will resolve the matter – or not.
