"[E]ven when [Mihalis] Katsaros expressed irony and disappointment, he was always clear about anticipating what is and what is not yet; in the sense that utopias express unfulfilled hopes, his vision was utopian. He was solemn and sardonic, always looking ahead while he kept in mind the events of the present and past. ‘Take water with you,’ he writes. ‘Our future will be dry.’ At least he could imagine a future even as he saw it in its darkest moments."
