If contemporary Greek literature is a tree with many literary roots, and books are its leaves, then "The Crossing" by George Zarkadakis has plenty of chlorophyll to contribute to its development and growth.
TA NEA
George Zarkadakis focuses his enquiry upon the dead-ends that haunt contemporary people, writing a particularly interesting and symbolic novel of existential agony.
Kathimerini (included in the list of recommended books for 2005)
The situations that he sets up are convincing and his literary personas are highly effective in their inner world. [Zarkadakis] successfully incorporates in the action many scientific facts without being carried away into recitation of pointless detail and without falling into narcissistic dangers. Furthermore, his novel is read in a single breath!
Eleftherotypia (from its weekly literary review "Vivliothiki")
Zarkadakis chooses the road of fiction to arrive at a rather beautiful ending. Thus he departs from the narrow limits of logic, guiding his story into a purely literary sphere, of myth and tale. It is novel set apart from the rest, with its very own and individualistic charm.
