Just Another Man: A Story of the Nazi Massacre of Kalavryta Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Blending fact and fiction is challenge for any writer yet first-time author Andy Varlow has done it seamlessly in "Just Another Man."
Based on the massacre of Kalvryta in which Nazis murdered every adult male in the village, including Varlow's own father, "Man" recounts the author's own story of survival throughout the first half of the book with vivid detail. But the book then evolves into a gripping fictional thriller as his character Yannis becomes obsessed with finding his father's killer.
The shift between the two halves of the book is subtle, there is no flashpoint where the fiction kicks in, and that is the underlying strength of the book.
What the reader will find most interesting is the wealth of subtext beneath the surface of the novel. While the first half is a loving tribute to Varlow's father and his childhood in Greece and the last half is more akin to a Ludlum novel the underlying theme is Yannis' rage at God for letting such a tragedy occur.
"Just Another Man" is just that, a story of one man wounded by tragedy and his need to overcome it.
