Ride of the Centaurs (Personal Memoir of a Trip to Greece)
SAN FRANCISCO: As the trip to Greece approaches, I decide it's only right and proper to follow the example of ancient world travelers and seek the consultation of unseen powers as to what I can expect-what mishaps along the road to avoid, what monsters I will have to slay, what deities I ought not to offend. Since my ticket to Athens via British Airways and the four-hour cab ride to Koroni on the southern tip of the western finger of the Peloponnesus has been generously paid for by my lover Stephen's father-unsolicited beneficence, plucked from the air-I have reason to suspect that the universe is once again moving in its mysterious ways: setting me up for something, in other words, good or bad.African and African Diaspora Studie
