Festival in Therma

Festival in Therma is a moving collection of stories that attempts to find the past and try to make sense of it by renewing connections with the culture of the Aegean islands to experience that which seems lost for following generations in America. The stories in Origins are told with the haunting sadness at having come to this journey late to puzzle out the meaning and the displacements of ones ancestors lives. The mystery of time passing is poignant and at times told with humor at the odd turns such a journey takes.The quirky stories in Encounters are Beckett-like in their sense of irony and subtle humor as they deal with the existential dilemmas in human interactions which echo that sense of lost connections in modern day America.
