Novel Prize to Aris Fioretos – Swedish Dagbladet

– It is quite excellent to get the price of those who will eventually take care of the novel – readers, says Aris Fioretos.

“Mary”, he wrote for the second time a novel about a female protagonist .

– there, I say that Woody Allen, it’s more interesting to portray women. Their life stories are more exciting, they have had to fight with the problems that men do not know.

With the novel about a 23-year-old architecture student in the military junta Greece may Aris Fioretos novel award for the second time. The jury particularly emphasizes his portrayal of “the contrast between the system of oppression and the individual strength and sensitivity”.

Five years ago, it was “The Last Greek” became radio listeners’ favorite. Perhaps it is precisely in the stories of the people affected by the Greek junta and the Diaspora as Aris Fioretos authorship burns to?

Fioretos, whose father could not travel back to Greece because of the junta, speaks of the importance of wait out the stories.

– In my case, I believe that these Greek stories had not been possible to write about ten years ago. Books do not feel so good by, I think, that processes the topic while writing.
