'Somewhere in the world there may be a noisier street than Acharnon Street; but I hope not.'

92 Acharnon Street is a loving portrait of Athens in all its dusty, dirty, traffic-ridden reality, complete with bars, prostitutes, corruption and imperious bureaucrats.

This is a book about Greeks not just Greece, in all their rich and confusing humanity.
