Yorgos Ioannou is considered one of the most significant Greek writers of the second half of the 20th century, with his work being hailed as one of the most original in contemporary literature.
Often compared to Joyce for his attentive and uncompromising investigation of the interior universe, Ioannou began like him with a parsimonious poetic production. In brief poems, of tormented lyricism, he announced most of the themes on which his prose stories will be built: the lost world of childhood and that of the city, with its abysses and anguish, the many manifestations of an interior exile that poetry should, if not exorcise, at least ward off.
Translated by Peter Mackridge and Jackie Willcox, Good Friday Vigil is Ioannou’s last book of stories before his untimely death in 1985. The protagonist in each of the stories is a solitary individual, alienated from society, haunted by memories, fascinated by the disgusting, obsessed with the relationship between love and death, and fetishistically attached to certain objects that bear the traces of traumatic experiences.
In Good Friday Vigil, Ioannou departs from the conversational tone of his earlier work and develops an intricate style whose wanderings evoke the associative meanderings of the memory. At the same time, he brilliantly highlights the discrepancy between intimate acts of sex and violence, and the way people pretend in public that life can be lived without physicality.
