📚📚On the occasion of the publication of his new novel "Jacarandas" (Εκδόσεις Εστία, 2024), award-winning writer Foivos Oikonomidis spoke to Reading Greece about the book, the way his writings describe this liminal era, as well as the way literature converses with its surrounding reality.

I think there is no world other than the one in our heads, and that we have a really tough time communicating our worlds to each other. So, literature is a great way to empathize. That is the way, I think, through which it can be revolutionary. When we talk of radically different realities, dystopias or utopias and what not, what we want to know is how it feels to live in such a reality. As long as we emphasize on the human experience, literature can describe anything".
