Review of books:
THE FIRST DEATH,
WITH THE PEOPLE FROM THE BRIDGE,
Z213: EXIT
Despite the reluctance to pin Lyacos's work down to any specific site of struggle, the reader comes away also having found in his words one of the most evocative and moving depictions of the sense of terror and hope that so many precarious lives experience today in making their journeys by boat or by foot to the various promised lands of plenty.
