A remarkable debut by a young Greek author who writes in English.
Panos Karnezis was born in Greece in 1967 and came to England in 1992. He studied engineering at Oxford and worked in industry before starting to write in English. He studied for an MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. He is the author of Little Infamies, a collection of connected short stories set in a nameless Greek village, and two previous novels; The Maze, shortlisted for the 2004 Whitbread First Novel Award and The Birthday Party. Panos Karnezis lives in London.
Karnezis has captured the spirit of his people and spoken for them
in a spellbinding, universal voice
*The Times*
Karnezis's robust prose, as luminous and flinty as his landscape,
sharpens his focus on captive souls in a lonely place
*Independent*
Strikingly original... The stories in Little Infamies are
extraordinary - shocking, colourful and resonant. Panos Karnezis is
an entirely individual writer in full command of his material
*Sunday Times*
A deeply impressive collection of short stories
*Sunday Telegraph*
