RaveThe Los Angeles Review of Books...presents a vision that deftly combines economic and existential crisis, showing how the two are never far apart ... The reader is readily brought into the story: we are forced not just to contemplate these characters’ lives but also to spend time in their minds and their skin ... Ikonomou demonstrates just where politics ends and private suffering begins ... The loss of the individuals behind any news story is a crime. Ikonomou undoes the crime by bodying forth the tragedy.
