I did know the author, Maria Dontsi gave me a DVD with footage from the show “Backstage” from channel ERT directed by L.Xanthopoulou and I started to get to know him. I was moved by Mr.Papadimitrakopoulos in the film, and he moved me as a writer through the book with the 12 short stories. He uses good old type writing, although simple and unadorned but also full of images, memories, morals and dignity.

Its has been many years since I read a text so
beautifully "Greek". It looks like we have forgotten the richness of
our language.
