thrilling, disgusting, but above all memorable…
a novella worthy of the praise that has been heaped upon it.“—Prism International
This story could happen anywhere. Today the place is Greece, wracked by a crisis that has pushed people to the brink.
Two strangers meet in a train headed for Athens. One spews out his disgust at the foreigners and the poverty that have invaded the neighborhood he calls home, Vic City. He even has a “final solution” in mind. The other, seized by fright—or is it resignation and apathy?— squirms as his haughty silence gives way to voyeurism and to political correctness.
While the former, uninhibited, lashes out at the economic crisis in a violent racist rant, the latter, troubled, checks his email about the latest health treatments aimed at him and his family. Along the way, we get glimpses of the forces that have destroyed a society and left people rudderless.
Vic City Express seizes the anxieties of our dystopian globalized world.
Vic City, kiddo! You know, the Victoria subway station. Nobody could get us out of there. And now you don’t even dare walk by outside. They’ll close down the street and fight it out. One race against the other. Some of ’em fell down and guys were kicking them while they lay there on the street. Traffic was blocked. Like, it was blood on the sidewalks.”
(Translated from the Greek with and Afterword by Fred A. Reed)
