"In The Few Things I Know About Glafkos Thrassakis, one of Greece's most prolific contemporary authors tackles the multiple specters of Greece's (and his own) past 75 years: childhood during World War II and the Occupation; the subsequent Civil War that divided Greece; the military dictatorship of 1967-74; the fall of the dictatorship after the invasion of Cyprus in 1974.
The novel - considered to be one of the very foundations of contemporary Greek literature - challenges conventional notions of fiction and autobiography in bold and innovative ways. Vassilikos masterfully obliterates the boundaries between fact and fiction, conscious and subconscious, literature and life - especially literature, and life."--BOOK JACKET.

Edition Notes
"My own translation is based primarily on the most recent publication, entitled Glafkos Thrassakis, by Livanis (Athens) in 1996. However, I did also make use of the 1989 Gnosis ed., also entitled Glafkos Thrassakis. In addition, one substantial cut from the 1996 ed. was made by Vassilikos himself during our first meeting concerning the text. This means that an approximately 200 page section from the Livanis ed. was not included in my translation"--e-mail from Karen Emmerich, the translator, Sept. 8, 2002
