MISSION BOX ΤΟ ΚΙΒΏΤΙΟ

Symbolically powerful, incisively poetic, "Mission Box" is a Kafkaesque Odyssey of yearning and disillusionment, aspiration and despair, which placed Aris Alexandrou at the forefront of Greek fiction in our time. Alexandrou's presence in contemporary Greek letters was strongly felt in his distinguished translations of poetry and fiction from Russian, French and English, in his powerful verse, and finally - in the capstone of his career - the remarkable novel, "Mission Box (Το kivotio, 1974)"
