<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Rebetiko </i>refers to the fusion of West and East, Greece and Asia Minor, in music. However, to General Metaxas, it is only a reminder of the Turkish influence on his country. The ruthless Greek dictator is determined to crack down on <i>rebetis </i>and their way of life, creating strict censorship. A small group of friends--Rebetiko musicians--wind their way through the Athenian backstreets, <i>ouzeris</i>, and market squares, dodging the police while settling disputes over hashish and women. With music at its heart, the narrative portrays a day in the life of the Rebetiko musicians in Athens in 1936. <p/> Praise for <i>Rebetiko: </i> <p/> "A convincing portrayal of the pressures and pleasures faced by artistic and political outsiders."<i> --Booklist </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Prudhomme </b>is a graduate of the Arts School of Angoulême and an award-winning graphic novelist. He lives in Bordeaux, France.<b><p></p></b>
