The cohabitation in a book of “aphoristic” abbreviations –without this designation being the only one to capture the “miniatures” of Eva Chroni, with the remarkably expressive title The contemporary version of memory– vividly brings back a literary genre cultivated with particular excellence in France during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Although these are scattered –and often with minimal or no connection between them– images, you feel them transforming into a channel to articulate the deeper meaning of a psychic and spiritual world, strongly marked by the imprint of a closed personal adventure.
However, what is remarkable is that the serf of the Thessalian plain, the Venetian conquerors in the mountainous regions of Crete, and the henchmen Soupias, Kourelas, and Tromaras, who have been –and continue to exist in different forms– without any of them even suspecting each other's existence, create the conditions for a skewed perspective to write an unofficial yet dominant version of History from scratch.
At the same time, the book is also a personal adventure among words, meanings, and semiologies, in such a way that even a Sibylline element like this with the “lines of Miró” brings forth a contemporary line of thought.
