2014The essays in Ruin link meditations on teaching, friendship, motherhood, love, the financial meltdown in Greece, the shared language of politics and advertising, Occupy Wall Street, and the Parthenon Marbles into a relentless interrogation of identity and loss. Kalfopoulou's Athens and New York are twinned sites of perpetual dislocation, palimpsests of political, economic, cultural-and personal-crisis. The refugee, the immigrant, the fragmented 'I' charted in these essays-all are studies in exilic living, pilgrims wandering the wreckage of late capitalism.179p. bibliography Book

1957The story of a splendidly handsome young Greek, Spiro, and of the three people he brought to ruin. He is picked up out of the gutter, fed, housed and educated by an American idealist, Irvine who is rich, complex, over-educated, a devout Catholic struggling against his instincts. Spiro, by contrast is completely cynical and amoral. All he wants now is an easy life with sensual pleasures, and he goes about getting what he wants with the sureness and ruthlessness of an animal. He brings about the downfall of his benefactor and the death of an Englishwoman who cannot resist the startling beauty of the Greek god.Finally he destroys even the young Greek girl whom he married for her money.248 p.Neat copy, paper age-toned, DJ price clipped and chipped Book
