Description
Yannis Loukas is editing his father's autobiography. Going through the family archives, he discovers the manuscript of an aspiring novelist named Loukas Matthaiou. While reading it, Yannis feels as if someone has put to paper his innermost thoughts. But who was the writer of this amazing story and what happened to him? Following in the tracks of this elusive stranger, Yannis' life takes an unforseen turn. He finds that everyone who met Matthaiou was profoundly affected by his charismatic personality. Driven by his quest to find Matthaiou, Yannis must first unravel the codes in his writing.
Reviews / Votes
'A litereary palimpsest ... it starts as a personal quest, continues as a detective story cloaked in artistic garb, develops as a journey through the European landscape at the end of the twentieth century and ends with an unexpected twist' - VogueMore details
