"The Woman of Patras" is the life, the biography of a woman - an old prostitute - who lives in Patras. She narrates her life in first person without shame, without pity. It is a free and rare speech that is presented in its entirety in this book after its partial publication, in installments in the magazine "Odos Panos" since the summer of 1987.
The reader is advised to leave in the antechamber of his respected abode whatever knowledge he possesses about the living and the lifeless. About humans and animals. About life and death. About joy and sorrow.
"The Woman of Patras" is the most true - that is, naked - story you have read in the Greek language since the crucifixion of Christ and the stories of Alexandros Papadiamantis.
