Like Wescott's extraordinary novella The Pilgrim Hawk (which Susan Sontag described in The New Yorker as belonging "among the treasures of 20th-century American literature"), Apartment in Athens concerns an unusual triangular relationship. In this story about a Greek couple in Nazi-occupied Athens who must share their living quarters with a German officer, Wescott stages an intense and unsettling drama of accommodation and rejection, resistance and compulsion-an account of political oppression and spiritual struggle that is also a parable about the costs of closeted identity.Wescott, Glenway is the author of 'Apartment in Athens', published 1972 under ISBN 9780837108865 and ISBN 0837108861.
