Zorba: Timeless contentment, revisited

A long time ago, I hitchhiked, walked and swam around Greece for six weeks with, at times, American, British, Greek, Israeli, Palestinian, German, and French young folks like me. When by myself on a beach or in a youth hostel, I sometimes read the Nikos Kazantzakis Zorba the Greek novel and Greek mythology plays. Now, after completing a first draft of my autobiographical novel with a chapter from those days, I was so pleased to find the film Zorba on FXM channel. Once again, for 270 minutes I was with the Alan Bates character and Anthony Quinn as my friend Niktarios spending time with villagers who were content to be who they were again. [image error]
