https://wonderlusttravel.com/its-all-greek-to-me/
New Greek Voices: The Best Short Fiction From Greece doesn’t disappoint. Anthologized here are 15 extraordinary writers, who tell simple, great short stories in clean and bewitching language. There’s a freshness to their narratives, these stories aren’t the self absorbed, twisted-into-pretzels-of-self-loathing-and-doubt that so many American fiction writers produce. These stories are like modern folktales, in that they instantly transport you to their authentic and magical worlds, and captivate and beguile you with characters that feel so real that when you are finished reading about them, you look around the room to see where they’ve gone..."

“The art of storytelling is alive and well in Hellas, if New Greek Voices is any indication. Tourism metastasizes, people marry cats, and Saint-Exupéry flies again. Expectations are challenged in this collection of intriguing and dynamic stories which is a welcome addition for tourists, classicists, and serious readers alike. For anyone wondering what the most acclaimed writers in Greece are publishing today, here is the answer.”
Prof. Tim Tomlinson
