"If Athens had a plan..." Fenix Stratos, teacher, textbook writer, and illegal immigrant finds himself trapped in Greece. Ignorant of the language, eminently exploitable, he passes his days laboring under the Dickensian gaze of Barbara Steven. His feeble efforts to extricate himself from Barbara and Greece are catalyzed when he becomes sole witness to a motorcycle accident involving two teenagers. Confusing Words is a darkly comic novel tracking the fortunes of Fenix in the aftermath of the crash. Prodded into activity, he is slowly forced to recognize the unintended consequences of his actions and non-actions. The line between language and terrorism is crossed, and to escape Fenix must ultimately turn to a man who has every reason to hate him.
