Another Life by Theodor Kallifatides

Another Life by Theodor Kallifatides

At 77, struggling with writer's block, Theodor Kallifatides makes the difficult decision to sell the Stockholm studio where he worked for decades. Unable to write, and unable to not write, he travels to his native Greece. In this memoir, he explores the interplay of meaningful living and meaningful work, and the timeless question of how to reconcile oneself to aging. But he also comments on worrying trends in contemporary Europe - religious intolerance and prejudice against immigrants, the housing crises and gentrification - and his sadness at the battered state of his beloved Greece.

Theodor Kallifatides has published more than forty works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that have been translated around the world. Born in Greece in 1938, Kallifatides immigrated in 1964 to Sweden, where he began his literary career. As a translator, he has brought August Strindberg and Ingmar Bergman to Greek readers, and Giannis Ritsos and Mikis Theodorakis to Swedish ones. He has received numerous awards for his work in both Greece and Sweden. He lives in Sweden.

Marlaine Delargy has translated novels by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Kristina Ohlsson, and Helene Tursten, as well as The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist (Other Press) and Therese Bohman's Drowned (Other Press). She lives in England.
