Dendrites

Praise for Dendrites

“What possibilities do individuals really have when they find themselves in devastating conditions? This question, of Kafkaesque extraction, unites the lives of the characters who inhabit this extraordinary novel. Marginality is not a choice, but a circumstance and a fatality, and Kallia Papadaki explores these margins in the lives of Greek emigrants with profound insight and empathy. The result is a wise and sensitive novel, but not only that, because Kallia is a virtuoso in the art of storytelling, which is increasingly a rarity these days. The result is a cohesive novel, with highly elaborate literary language and a perfect narrative structure. And whose characters shake us to the core.” —RONALDO MENÉNDEZ

“The winner of the 2017 European Union Prize for Literature vindicates the multiplicity of female voices in European literature, who are often silenced by a lack of translation into other EU languages.” —Vogue

 “A novel about disillusion and everyday failures.” —ELLE
