Reviews

Karnezis has captured the spirit of his people and spoken for them in a spellbinding, universal voice

—— The Times

Karnezis's robust prose, as luminous and flinty as his landscape, sharpens his focus on captive souls in a lonely place

—— Independent

Strikingly original... The stories in Little Infamies are extraordinary - shocking, colourful and resonant. Panos Karnezis is an entirely individual writer in full command of his material

—— Sunday Times

A deeply impressive collection of short stories

—— Sunday Telegraph

Funny, softhearted and hopeful

—— Los Angeles Times
