I, Giorghos: A Novel

“I am stunned by I, Giorghos. I was completely carried away by the beauty of the thought, the vigor of the writing and the absolute truth of the whole. I read far into the night until I had finished it and then lay awake thinking about it. I have rarely been so impressed or inspired by a book. It raised up my spirit, and the perfect line of the plot, from initial imperfection and degradation to what was exactly the right ending, gave me enormous satisfaction. What a wonderful journey that was, too, between beginning and end, with interesting development of character and philosophy, expressed in shining phrases, many of which I copied out because I couldn’t bear to lose them. It’s a triumph.” —Noreen Maxwell
