LOU PILL

With special pleasure, oxy publications present the book by Evi Lampropoulou, Happy Lou. This is the author's debut, and it is certainly one of the best guarantees for the future, not only for her, but also for her entire literary - and not only - generation. Firmly pressing on the foundations of postmodern writing, Evi Lampropoulou gives the mark of the millennium generation and recreates with exemplary penetration the universe of a generation that is looking to find an identity, far from manufactured solutions, trying not to repeat the mistakes of those who believed in myths that collapsed. Lou, the protagonist of the book, and a true descendant of the heroes of Alan Warner, Douglas Coupland and Elizabeth Wurtzel, is a thirty-something girl who somewhere between Thessaloniki and London is looking to discover her dreams, and through them herself her self. She is tormented by: insomnia, her parents, the bacteria that make up her PhD thesis, her failed attempts to find a job, and people who don't know what they are asking of her - but that's okay, because she doesn't know what she's asking of them either . In relationships with inglorious ends and parties with inglorious beginnings, she is accompanied by her friends: Eutychis, who embodies the voice of reason, Sevi, the voice of libido, civil servant and later rock star Sean and anorexic Lara, who she looks nothing like Lara Croft.
