VACATION VOL.2
In the second edition of the Journal of the Hydra Book Club, we have invited another group of contributors to accompany us to the frayed edges of that very specific and often troubling parentheses of time we have named “vacation”.
The practice of vacation today most often involves travel - a specific, voluntary, planned movement which becomes deeply troubling when set into a contemporary context of the involuntary, unplanned movements of populations across the Mediterranean (and the world) and the deeply distressed environment which strains to support increasing numbers of humans. I think of Hydra, with its own seasonal influx of visitors, foreign and Greek, floating serenely in the turbulence of the Mediterranean, the choreographed movement of boats coming in and out of the port.

Hydra Book Club is a bookstore on the island of Hydra, Greece presenting and selling a thoroughly researched anthology of literary work by the community of Greek and international writers intermittently present on the island. Each year, the bookshop explores a chosen theme through research, readings and literary events.
Hydra Book Club also prints an annual Journal of over 200 pages of fiction, poetry, essays and images contributed from writers, artists, curators, critics and philosophers.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.
