Splendid ... limpid and passionate ... fluid and musical, Ersi Sotiropoulos' prose says it perfectly ... You can read this beautiful book by Ersi Sotiropoulos as an account of three key days in the life of Constantine Cavafy. You can read it as a passionate introduction to his work ... but you can also see it on a more metaphorical level. That of a reflection about art. How is it born? Where does it come from? --Le Monde Ersi Sotiropoulos fathoms with acuity the birth of her hero's unique voice ... In language marked by chiaroscuro, sobs and sublime anger, she suggests that the gloomy darkness of real life is often the breeding ground of a great oeuvre. --Magazine litt�raire Sensual, carnal and profound, this novel manages to render through its own rhythm the scansion of Greek verse, thereby transporting us along on the wanderings of one of the greatest poets in the history of world literature. Not to be missed. --Les Chroniques culturelles
