A Few Words About Tommaso Pagonis, by one of his novel charactersTomazo Pagonis was born in the early 1960s in Piraeus. He studied shipping in London and has since hired himself as a negotiator of maritime contracts (also known as "shipbroker"), occasionally as a small-scale shipowner, and often as a ship manager. He has a fondness for anything or anyone that manages to "float". carrying the weight of some kind of "cargo, " often called "the goods."He claims his hobbies include travelling and studying of what he calls "the scrapyards of the mind and nature." Or so he says.Every morning, he spends two or three hours writing and studying, then works to make a living.
In the evenings, he usually destroys canvases and oil paints, even though he knows perfectly well that he doesn't know how to paint. Despite all this, a few of his short stories-written, I suppose, to avoid taking Lexotanil-have been published over the years. In 2010, his play titled "Tomorrow Again" was performed at the Alma Theatre. P. S. Once, I asked him what he meant by "the scrapyards of the mind and nature." I thought he had something profound in mind, but he took the chance to deliver an entire lecture.
He explained that the mind creates ideas and builds theories, but eventually, they end up in scrapyards where they are dismantled and reassembled into new, possibly more advanced, theories. Something like that... Zephyro Tramontana(Main character in Thomas's novel "the Stranger")
