LITTLE INFAMIES PB

Karnezis, Panos

Εκδότης Jonathan Cape , ISBN 9780099433521


Panos Karnezis' remarkable stories are all set in the same nameless Greek village. His characters are the people who live there - the priest, the barber, the whore, the doctor, the seamstress, the mayor - and the occasional animal: a centaur, a parrot that recites Homer, a horse called History. Their lives intersect, as lives do in a small place, and they know each other's secrets - the hidden crimes, the mysteries, the little infamies that men commit. Karnezis observes his villagers with a forgiving eye, and creates a world where magic invariably loses out to harsh reality, a world at once universal, funny and utterly compelling.

PANOS KARNEZIS was born in Greece and came to the UK in 1992 to study for a PhD in Engineering. While working at Rolls Royce and then at British Steel, he started writing fiction.

His first novel, The Maze, started at UEA, was shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award.
