Foreign Words | Vassilis Alexakis
Foreign words are compassionate. They tell you stories only to encourage you to tell your own. This story is a journey with the teller from Paris to Africa via Athens, where he buries his father and closes up his parents' house forever. He cannot write "my father is dead" in his native Greek or his adopted French. But Sango lets him. And it lets us into this profound meditation on the magical, healing power of words.
