Red dyed hair

Emmanuel Retsinas (call him Louis) flows like a river in full flood through Red Dyed Hair the brilliant first novel by Greek playwright Kostas Mourselas. Louis is the "almost man", once and forever lumpen and anarchocommunist, sometime circus daredevil, part-time yacht captain, full-time subverter of propriety, morals, order. Destroyer, builder, provocateur, catalyst extraordinary.
