Let Me Explain You

Autor Annie Liontas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2016
An unforgettable novel about a Greek American family and its enigmatic patriarch from a significant new voice in contemporary literature: Hilarious yet rich This debut by Annie Liontas will touch you ("The New York Times").
Stavros Stavros Mavrakis, Greek immigrant and proud owner of the Gala Diner, believes he has just ten days to live. As he prepares for his final hours, he sends a scathing email to his ex-wife and three grown daughters, outlining his wishes for how they each might better live their lives. With varying degrees of laughter and scorn, his family and friends dismiss his behavior as nothing more than a plea for attention, but when Stavros disappears, those closest to him are forced to confront the possibility of his death.
A vibrant tour de force that races to a surprising conclusion, "Let Me Explain You" is told from multiple perspectives: Stavros Stavros, brimming with pride and cursing in broken English; his eldest daughter Stavroula, a talented chef in love with her boss s daughter; her sister, the wounded but resilient Litza; and many other voices who compose a veritable Greek chorus.
Funny yet deeply moving, this pitch perfect ("San Francisco Chronicle") novel delivers a thoughtful meditation on the power of storytelling. In "Let Me Explain You," Annie Liontas explores our origins and family myths, the relationship between fathers and daughters, the complex bond of sisterhood, hunger and what feeds us, but the novel s true heart is one filled with love and forgiveness ("Minneapolis Star-Tribune")."
