What is Shades of Resistance : a Novel about?

Set in 1973 Greece during the military dictatorship, Shades of Resistance follows thirty-five year old American Jonas Korda into islands of the Aegean. Involved with Greeks who struggle with a junta both brutal and surreal, he confronts the connection between the heart and the larger world. As he attempts physically to run away from a life he has long since emotionally fled, Jonas is faced with the question of his capacity for love. The novel's lyrically evoked Greek islands, are counterpoint to political terror, captured with both shuddering intensity and mordant black humor. Shades of Resistance is that rare work of fiction that explores the relationship between the personal and the political, the heightened responses of a man trapped in a moment of history.
