Little Infamies

Inscribed trade paperback of Panos Karnezis's Little Infamies

Panos KarnezisPanagiotis Karnezis
Second printing. 8vo. Pp. [viii], 279. Pictorial wraps.
Signed by Author to title-page, additionally inscribed "With My Best Wishes" in Greek.
A New York Times 'Notable Book of the Year'. Debut collection of short stories set in a backwater Greek village, whose daily rituals and rhythms of life are overlaid with faint echoes of a glorious classical past. Translated into eight languages and rendered into Greek by the author himself, a process he followed with all his successive books.
Initially composing his stories in his adoptive language, English, peopled with characters stripped of their national traits to aid rapport for an Anglo-Saxon audience, Karnezis subsequently refashions them into his mother tongue in a process of re-appropriation. He holds an M.A. in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. "Strikingly original... The stories in Little Infamies are extraordinary – shocking, colourful and resonant. Panos Karnezis is an entirely individual writer in full command of his material." Sunday Times
