FATHERS FROM THE EDGE:
Greek-Australian reflections on fathers
Edited by Helen Nickas
(Owl Publishing, Melbourne 2015)
The book will be launched by writer Anna
Couani
In this anthology 24 Greek-Australian authors from
Victoria, NSW and W.A. participate with a story about their fathers. It is a
well-known fact that father-child relationships can be testing at the best of
times, but when you add the migrant experience into the mix, then matters get
complicated.
Some of the Sydney writers who are
included in this book will be present to read an extract from their story
relating how their bitter-sweet experience as migrant sons and daughters has
shaped their lives in Australia.
As literature is another form of history,
the stories in this anthology contribute towards a better understanding of
Australia as a country of many waves of migration.
Authors from New South Wales included in
the anthology are:
George Alexander, Claire Catacouzinos,
Anna Couani,
Eleni Elefterias-Kostakidis, Zeny Giles,
Efi Hatzimanolis,
Vrasidas Karalis and Martha Mylona
Note: Fathers from the Edge
is a companion book to
Mothers from the
Edge (about mothers and daughters).
Both books will be available at the
launch.
