Aris Fioretos

Maria (Mary to her friends), a 23-year-old architecture student, has just discovered that she is expecting a baby.

Aris Fioretos has written a wry meditation on human identity, loss and longing, and what it is to be Greek.

Written in the form of letters to the daughter whom he has never met, Aris Fioretos's latest novel takes us from downtown New York to Thatcher-era London, new-millennium Berlin and beyond, describing the rise and fall of an artist and musical scene.
