Description
No one drinks at Bar Flaubert. It isn't a meeting place...just the setting for a fatal encounter. New novel from award winning Greek writer that tracks the life of a mysterious and allusive novelist who it seems had an extraordinary effect on everyone he encountered. '...a multilayered novel, a literary palimpsest unique to the contemporary Greek literary scene. It starts as a personal quest, turns into a gripping detective story and develops as a journey through the European landscape at the close of the 20th century, ending with a twist.' - Vogue

Reviews'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' - Vogue
