Book summary

In this work of literary criticism and personal narrative, a writer and Greek cultural expert reflects on a period of lively exchange between American and Greek literary figures beginning in the 1930s. Before the Second World War and subsequent tourist bombardment, poets and writers such as George Seferis and George Katsimbalist, Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell shared ideas and good times while enjoying the beauty of their Greek "paradise."
