Paper faces

Χάρτινα πρόσωπα
  • Publisher: Dodoni Publications

And now my novel Paper Faces is wearing me down. I have to protest the Junta's irrational condition. From the day I returned to the office, everyone still looks at me suspiciously. They were informed that in Paris I participated in the demonstrations organized by Jacques Lacarrière for Greece. But I want to write about the absurdity I live in. It doesn't let me sleep at night. My book's characters are lost in places they don't know. My "paper" faces. And I'm lost with them too. I feel like I am made out of paper too.
From M.L.P.'s diary, December 1968
