Synopsis

Book by Karnezis Panos

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Panos Karnezis' remarkable stories are all set in the same nameless Greek village. His characters are the people who live there - the priest, the barber, the whore, the doctor, the seamstress, the mayor - and the occasional animal: a centaur, a parrot that recites Homer, a horse called History. Their lives intersect, as lives do in a small place, and they know each other's secrets - the hidden crimes, the mysteries, the little infamies that men commit. Karnezis observes his villagers with a forgiving eye, and creates a world where magic invariably loses out to harsh reality, a world at once universal, funny and utterly compelling.

Revue de presse

"Karnezis has captured the spirit of his people and spoken for them in a spellbinding, universal voice" (The Times)

"Karnezis's robust prose, as luminous and flinty as his landscape, sharpens his focus on captive souls in a lonely place" (Independent)

"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)

"A deeply impressive collection of short stories" (Sunday Telegraph)
