1. Otra Vida Por Vivir
Una reflexión sobre el exilio y la identidad
The book explores the themes of identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience through the lens of an aging writer who returns to his native Greece after many years in Sweden. As he grapples with writer's block and the challenges of aging, he reflects on his life, the passage of time, and the cultural differences between his homeland and adopted country. Through introspection and encounters with people from his past, he seeks to reconcile his dual identity and find renewed inspiration and purpose in his life and work.

2. Det Gångna är Inte En Dröm
En lyrisk och självbiografisk reflektion över barndom och ursprung i det grekiska hemlandet, där författaren minns familjens liv, krigets och fattigdomens spår, och hur dessa erfarenheter följer honom genom ett liv i exil. Boken utforskar hur minnen och berättelser bevarar det förflutna som något levande snarare än ett avlägset drömmande, samtidigt som den undersöker identitet, språk och försoning med både förlust och längtan. Genom korta, intensiva scener och personliga betraktelser skapas en närgången bild av hur det gångna fortsätter forma nuet.
