CULTURE

Varied food for thought

Dromologia, a magazine run by and for the homeless, is out again, with a lively mix of news, views, culture, tips on living cheaply and humor. Highlights: Costas Magos meets a homeless man who can «feel» which prospective MP cares most for people who sleep rough. Fotini Tsalikoglou describes the ordeal faced by women refugees and calls for the harmonization of EU laws on political asylum. Grigoris Papadoyiannis recommends attractive walks in Athens and Piraeus. Well-designed, with cheeky cartoons and a voice of its own, Dromologia is good reading for a good cause.
