Synopsis

Set mostly in Greece, "The Names" is primarily a series of character studies, interwoven with a plot about a mysterious "language cult" that is behind a number of unexplained murders. Among the many themes explored throughout the work are the intersection of language and culture, the perception of American culture from both within and outside its borders, and the impact that narration has on the facts of a story.
