The Few Things I Know About Glafkos

A brilliant work of the imagination as well as a commentary on writing, this novel follows a biographer's investigation into the life of a mysterious deceased Greek writer, Glafkos Thrassakis. Told from the biographer's point of view, the book explores the identification of the fictive with the real and leaves the narrator questioning his subject's very existence.

Born in 1933 in Kavalla in Northern Greece, VASSILIS VASSILIKOS grew up mostly in Salonika. After the military coup in 1967, he spent seven years in exile, returning to Greece in 1974. Author of some 120 books, translated into more than twenty foreign languages, Vassilikos is Greece's formost living novelist. His novel, Z, was adapted for film by Costa Gavras, winning the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1969.
