THE REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION OF 1989

“D. Charitopoulos’ short story collection has a literary weight inversely proportional to its volume. Both the world that springs to life on its pages and the technique the author uses to bring it to life captivate the reader’s interest and continue to hold it even after reading the book. […] Charitopoulos begins the book with a wonderful Introduction, which elevates this world to the realm of historical Legend. In a prior scene, the fans of Olympiakos, among them the heroes of the stories that will follow, gather to implore the Father not to leave the team. The author mentions the names of the attendees in the manner of an ancient historian and epic poet.” Dimosthenis Kourtovik, Eleftherotypia

“Small, harsh stories about people who exist yet we do not want to know that they exist, about a world living its own torturous hell. A shocking book. Read it!”  To Pontiki

“I can’t stand so much despair! That Charitopoulos claws with his teeth and nails from reality itself and transforms it into a series of shocking life slices, a chain of documentary films, short films. Be sure to read this book.”  Kostas Stamatios, TA NEA
