With this lyrical novel, tinged with a hallucinatory eroticism that unfolds over three unforgettable days, celebrated Greek author Ersi Sotiropoulos depicts Cavafy in the midst of a journey of self-discovery across a continent on the brink of massive change. He is by turns exhilarated and tormented by his homosexuality; the Greek-Turkish War has ended in Greece's defeat and humiliation; France is torn by the Dreyfus Affair, and Cavafy's native Alexandria has surrendered to the indolent rhythms of the East. A stunning portrait of a budding author--before he became C.P. Cavafy, one of the 20th century's greatest poets--that illuminates the complex relationship of art, life, and the erotic desires that trigger creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New Vessel Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50874078789906,"sku":"9781939931610","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_f614f968-180f-4926-8442-7beb00c6f606.jpg?v=1737982358","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/whats-left-of-the-night-9781939931610","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
