📚📚One the occasion of his latest novel "The night will fall", one of the most distinguished contemporary Greek writers Konstantinos Tzamiotis spoke to Reading Greece about the relation of #literature with its surrounding social environment, and the way the various micro-stories of his heroes are inextricably linked with the History of the world.

"It’s my firm belief that if you don’t know where you come from, you won’t know where to go next. Yet, knowing your roots can often be extremely complicated if not painful. That’s why sweet revisionism and even sweeter nostalgia prevail these days. Most of us Westerners have lived a rather easy life compared to previous generations. This has clouded and narrowed our horizons. It has made us believe that History is over and that from now on, only constant progress awaits us. But History was, is and will always be here. Especially nowadays we all understand what that means".
