Description
A brilliant work of the imagination as well as a meditation on writing itself, the story follows a biographer’s investigation into the life and works of a famous, yet highly mysterious, deceased Greek author named Glafkos Thrassakis. At the crossroads where magical realism and political fiction meet, Vassilis Vassilikos’s buoyant literary imagination flourishes beyond the confines of conventional narrative structures. Vassilis Vassilikos, Greece’s most acclaimed novelist, was born on the island of Thasos in 1933. He has published more than ninety books, including novels, short stories, essays, poetry, and plays. His most famous novel, Z, has been translated into thirty-two languages.
Read the New York Times Book Review Praise for Vassilis Vassilikos’s …And Dreams Are Dreams: "Vassilis Vassilikos is a master, and some of the writing here will take your breath away." —The Washington Post "Vassilikos, like Kundera 25 years ago, is a cosmopolitan master deserving of promotion to world fame." —The Philadelphia Inquirer "Vassilikos’s singular mixture of self-consciousness, naturalism, allegory, and caprice results in fiction both provocative and entertaining." —Publishers Weekly Praise for Z: "Shattering validity, exciting reading…Vassilikos’s gifts are dazzling."
—The New York Times Book Review
