Blue

 

Blue is an authentic masterpiece which goes beyond the boundaries of current Greek writing and falls within the leading contemporary achievements of European prose… One of the very few books of which as a reader of 50 years and a critic of 40 years I have difficulty in understanding how it was written, associated at times with Rebeau Kafka and Becket… Blue is our literary passport to Europe. And the truth is I want to write a book about this book.

Review in Phileleftheros (one of the leading Cyprus newspapers) on 19th of July 1997 by the late Andreas Christofides, Minister of Education of Cyprus, Founder of the Cyprus Broadcasting Association and member of the Greek Academy.

Vivaldi’s Wigmaker

 

“Is Vivaldi’s wigmaker a historical novel? Without a doubt I would say no. The writer is not interested about history and it is not history that is the protagonist of this book. The writer uses the outline to describe shapes and figures of today…With the exception of the costumes and the decoration of everyday life, Hypatia the basic face of the book and all other personages surrounding her and crossing their paths with hers are faces of our times.”
