With Christos Ikonomou and Theodor Votsos (moderation, translation)
«Christos Ikonomou gives the crisis a face, many faces.» (NZZ) His stories are set in Piraeus, around the big harbour. They allow the reader to truly feel the atmosphere in Greece today, to see people who are struggling with various existential needs. In momentary snapshots one sees these personalities in their dignity, and experiences their fear: the retirees, who camp out in front of the social insurance building, the workers, who queue up for their weekly wages in vain, the man who has to defend himself and protest, but for overcoming misfortune doesn’t know what to write on his placard, and finally protests with an empty placard. «Christos Ikonomou, one of the most interesting, contemporary Greek authors, tells stories of victims of the crisis: 16 stories, that hit the nerve of the present.» (Tagesspiegel)
