"As long as there are people who daydream, who are cold, who are hungry and bleeding, this little book will have the right to sit across from them in a corner and tell its bitter tale. This is exactly the tale I want to retell today, as harsh as it was then and forever bitter. Now that a swarm of years has suddenly flown away from me. So suddenly, that when I reopened my eyes, everything was blurry."

"Goodnight, life..." is the second book by Menelaos Lountemis. Here, the main character - the author himself - leaves Athens and moves to Evia, looking for work. He will work in cafes, even as a marble sawyer. The stories are described with subtle humor but also with pain, elements that will characterize the author's later work.
