| description | In his crisis trilogy (“Expiring Loans”, “Termination”, “Bread, Education, Liberty”) Petros Markaris focuses his plot less on the discovery of the identity of the killer than on the anatomy of a country, open with a scalpel and seen through a fiction with pronounced socio-political features. Opposite to the thrillers, entertaining but absolutely apolitical of Yannis Maris (the Greek pioneer in this kind of literature), Markaris’ thrillers (specially, the three last of them) are very engaged in the social and political realities of the country. What image do they give of the hellenic society at the very moment it faces one of the worst and deepest crisis in its history? A country close to chaos? A nation ready to rise again from its ashes? Who are the real responsible for the Greek crisis according to the writer? Foreign political leaders or the Polytechnic generation? In his last three books, Petros Markaris offers us his personal interpretation of the Greek crisis. |
