A picture may say as much as a thousand words, but a thousand words can express things that no picture ever could. With this in mind, Antaios Chrysochoumidis proposes a second volume featuring interviews he conducted - either alone or with Mikela Hartoulari - with over 30+1 famous authors from around the world, going far beyond the television image of the namesake popular show.
‘The Antennas of My Time II’ not only provides a satisfying panorama of the international literary scene but also the very personal perspective of a person who still believes that good literature is one of the few things that can still save us.
[Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
Personal confessions from top authors such as Umberto Eco and António Lobo Antunes.
The thoughts and anxieties of people who have marked literature with their work.
A journey through different cultures through the eyes of the most "vibrant" spirits of our time.
Because it offers a rare, direct contact with the personalities behind the great books.
For the way Antaios Chrysostomidis manages to unlock the authors, making them speak like friends.
It is an ideal guide to discover new favorite creators and to understand their work in depth.
You love reading and want to get to know better the people who write the stories that captivate you, through lively and meaningful dialogues.
In this second book, Antaeus Chrysostomidis continues his great journey into the world of letters, meeting thirty-one famous authors from every corner of the planet. From Latin America to Europe, his "antennas" pick up the signals emitted by some of the brightest minds in contemporary literature.
Through these conversations, the daily life, obsessions, and philosophy of creators who often seem inaccessible are revealed. The reader becomes a participant in an intellectual adventure that is not confined to the pages of books but extends into life itself.
Each interview is a small discovery, a window opening onto the way literature can interpret our world. A reference book for anyone who wants to follow the pulse of the intellectual production of our times.
