How do writers perceive love and summer? Is it only what is recorded, or something beyond words, something that leads to the soul? Do we fall in love with another or with something imaginary? If the being we are in love with is a mirror of ourselves, what happens when the reflections become text? How are they recorded, since in writing the object of desire is not a real, corporeal being, but only words?
In this collective volume, forty-nine writers approach the dual theme as a springboard for historical, experiential, surreal, psychoanalytical, theatrical, and even political texts, each in their own unique way. Their stories resemble wide-open windows of the same house, encompassing the entirety of Greek reality. They exude tenderness, nostalgia, longing, bitterness, anxiety, innocence, pain, joy, loneliness, hope, and countless other emotions.
An invisible fabric connects the words, offering us an impressive panorama where love and summer evoke memories that attract and liberate us.
