Somebody leaves his home in the middle of the night, ready for the big adventure. We don’t know where he’s going, but apparently neither does he. He will meet some strange people –or is he the strange one ?- and a speaking duck and they will continue together their trip to nowhere. But the police will stop them and they will be conducted to prison where they cannot stay as one of the words they use, “Democracy” doesn’t exist in the Dictionary.

“Disparagement” is a purely postmodern contemporary novel, an achievement in terms of language, apparently uncommercial, but ultimately able to generate an ever expanding fan base. It is a work with multiple references and allusions, where literary language effortlessly meets with a flowing vernacular and an auctorial slang. The chapters in whole are, in a musical way, split into six parts, three narrated in the first person and three in the third, alternately, so as to dismantle any authority the narrator might lay claim to, and drag the narrator/hero's name through the mire; ultimately, however, this dragging through the mire turns into an encomium.

A woman tries to understand herself and face her awkward situation. For this, she decides to follow Alice at the other side of the mirror. But her wonderland doesn’t last. Between psychoanalysis and tale telling, a woman of 39 tries to survive without loosing her mind after she loses a baby when she is three months pregnant.

Elena Maroutsou has wittingly combined reality and dreams to create a light atmosphere -based on humorous and sometimes surrealistic situations- that becomes oppressive before the blooming end.

Kedros, 200 p.
