Like Z213: Exit, With the People from the Bridge is fragmentary, hallucinatory, at once firmly rooted in a complex webwork of allusions and drifting free of referentiality, evading attempts to pin it down. It is, instead, a restaging/extension of the themes and aesthetic of the first book.

With the People from the Bridge is not a sequel in the traditional sense-there is no narrative continuity, no shared characters, no links, no tenuous connections between the events. You can read my review of the first book in the trilogy, Z213: Exit, here.

With the People from the Bridge is the second book in Greek poet Dimitris Lyacos’ Poena Damni trilogy (translated by Shorsha Sullivan and published by Shoestring Press).
