Praise

“In this poetic account, Greek novelist Kallifatides…spins a weeklong visit with his elderly mother into a moving reflection on legacy…a stunning ode to mother and motherland alike.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“The kind of book that reverberates for the reader long after it’s read…[Kallifatides’s] elegant and evocative writing is translated beautifully from the Swedish by Marlaine Delargy…a moving meditation on the poignancy of loving an aging parent while the opportunity still presents itself.” —Shelf Awareness

Praise for Another Life:

“Charming…Kallifatides has a novelist’s ear for anecdote, a dramatist’s for dialogue, and a poet’s for aphorism.” —Times Literary Supplement

“In his elegiac, tender meditation on migrations, both geographic and psychic—from one country to another, from one language to another, from youth to old age, from the time of the present to memories of the past—Kallifatides offers his reader a personal politics of the human.” —Siri Hustvedt, author of The Blazing World
