by Thomas McKnight (Author) Thomas McKnight, an artist famous for prints and paintings of dreamlike views and interiors reveals a new dimension to his search for the soul of his special place - the Greek island of Mykonos. In the tradition of Isak Dinesen and E.T.A. Hoffmann a tapestry of fourteen tales weave echoes of ancient myths, with a contemporary Mykonos many consider the epitome of an island paradise. Odysseus visits on his way back from Troy; Circe enchants; Apollo snares new acolytes with his lyre, and a novelist carelessly strikes a Faustian bargain with a sinister boatman. Daphnis again meets Chloe and an artist falls for the daughter of a centaur. A strange landlord, and his blind lodger, a fallen movie queen, and the last priest of a classical god all make their entrances (and exits) on this magic island.
