Presentation speach during the 3rd Art and Business Festival of the Hellenic Community. EPIC Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin 24 February 2019.
"Send
me a Letter" consists of a puzzle of contiguous and interactive
stories. This feature, in conjunction with the writing method of
"enkyvotismοs" – I am sorry that I am not aware of the
correct term of this word in the English and I want to avoid taking
the risk to give a rush translation but I will try to describe; it is
a writing method where one story is within another, all together are
developing at the same time. Homer was the first who used this method
in his epics Oddyssea and Iliad.
The
combination above retains the reader's interest afloat and supports
the main idea and message of the book.
At
the same time, the book and its stories are interactive. You smell,
you feel, you listen to, you remember...
What
do you hear, or smell? Your story.
The
major achievement of this book is that makes the reader the key
person and role of the stories. The reader reads the book through
their eyes and experiences. Thus, the conclusion and the main message
of the book are different for each reader.
I
asked for a copy to read before the presentation. I planned to read
the book within five days. However, I read it the same evening
because I could not stop reading. This is proof of how this book
keeps your interesting alive. This is proof of the success of a book.
I
fairly recommend you to read it.
Thank
you
