Synopsis

Elias Papadimitrakopoulos, one of the most important Greek prose writers, was born in 1930 in Pyrgos (Eleia), Greece. He has published three collections of short stories, "Toothpaste with Chlorophyll", "Maritime Hot Baths" and "The General Archivist". In this important first collection of English language translations of his work, Papadimitrakopoulos combines his remarkably subtle gift for precision of language with the profound sensitivity and compassion for his subjects that has made his reputation as a master painter of the triste and ephemeral.

"The microcosmos created by Papadimitrakopoulos' prose exercises an irresistible charm on the reader... He has been called a virtuoso, a craftsman, a master of words..." - Spyros Tsaknias, Greek Prose Since the Second World War

"How is it that Papadimitrakopoulos' texts are so clear, so luminous, so delicate? What is it that at the same time gives his prose its forceful personality, which has assured for his stories their special place in modern Greek literature?" _ Elisabet Kotzia, I Kathimerini

"Papadimitrakopoulos' style is of the same temperament as his themes. Limpid, classical, but then suddenly subversive, with a subtle touch of irony... Memory thus functions doubly in his prose..." - Vangelis Hatzivasiliou, Avgi
