Zontanina

The literary debut of a charismatic new author who introduces us to a literary world filled with truth, tenderness, and saving humor.

A collection of sixteen short stories that oscillate between an irrevocably lost past and an unfamiliar, looming future. A bittersweet literary world, at times constructed from lived memories and at others bordering on the fantastical or the paradoxical. Kostas, Ersi, Uncle Themis, George Margaret, Barko, Vangelis. Everyday, outcast, failed, and eccentric characters surrender to their small tribulations and fragile passions. The common denominator of every story is a clear-sighted authorial gaze that, no matter how tight the trap closes, never loses its satirical edge and deep humanity.
