Summary

Panos Joanidis: Koazinos

In the spirit of the classic films of Fellini and Bioskop Paradizo Tornatore, in the autobiographical novel "Koazinos" by the famous Cypriot writer Panos Joanidis, a number of comic, eccentric and scurrilous characters parade, charlatans and their victims, ravishing girls and sexual predators, national revolutionaries and religious purists. In addition to striking personalities, a special and picturesque Cyprus from the 40s and 50s emerges in the novel, practically spared from war and great misery, but in which dissatisfaction and resistance against the English colonial authorities is growing. Petros Arhontidis, the writer's alter ego, with stripped-down sincerity, non-pathetic nostalgia and refined humor and irony, looks for faces, events and fateful moments in the distant past that shaped his life in one way or another.

"Koazinos" is an autobiographical novel for which Milan Kundera's words about writers not writing books to tell us about their lives, but to shed light on their own lives, are valid. "Each reader at the moment when he reads a book," says Kundera, "is first of all a reader of himself. A literary work is a kind of optical organ that every important writer provides to his reader to enable him to judge about things that he might not have seen without that book".
