    Sorry, I don't know who Aggelos Terzakhs is, and I never read anything written by him. I'll go ask my friend Tomato Marouli. Maybe she knows. :)

    Is Terzakhs a modern writer?

    I read his so called trilogy, Liapkin - Chimaira - Yougerman, but a long time ago I must admit. I love " Sintagmatarhis Liapkin ". Perhaps because it's all about the place I was born and live, Larisa and Thessaly. His descriptions are so familiar to me, and a way to imagine about life in Larisa of the time. The Agricultural School ( Γεωργική Σχολή ) that is mentioned in the book, is a place where as a child I used to go for small excursions, either with the school (Dimotiko) or family. There is a small forest right next to the School ideal for picnics and playing. The old School buildings are still there, so the set of the book is still alive in a way. I haven't been there for years now, but memory serves me well. And when you are a kid, memories are more vivid. I like his writing style. I like the "Generation of the 1930" authors as we call them, like Venezis and Mirivilis.
