"Something Will Happen, You'll See" is a heart-wrenching portrait of the struggling inhabitants of working-class neighborhoods in Piraeus, the port city southwest of Athens. Ikonomou's luminous and poignant short stories center around laid-off steelworkers, warehousemen, families, pensioners, and young couples faced with sudden loss and dramatic changes in their daily lives. At the docks, in tenement buildings, and on city streets, Ikonomou's men and women sustain their significant losses on flickers of hope and on their deep faith in humanity. A deeply illuminating examination of human relationships in trying times, Ikonomou's award-winning book has become the literary emblem of the Greek crisis; it is a book so real, humane, and haunting that it will stay with the reader for a long while."-- Provided by the publisher.
