Description & Specifications

Myronas and Angeliki, a dance couple from Athens, go to Serres to perform at a nightclub. Unaware, she will be captivated by Myronas's charm as she tries to unlock his mysterious and enigmatic character. Their passionate relationship, like a choreographed performance, shifts from the dance floor of the nightclub to the mystical olive grove, from rooms in provincial hotels to the streets and springtime countryside. The developments and the setting will have a decisive impact on both of their lives as they become entangled in their obsessions and neuroses, in the metaphysical and hidden history.

Written by the Press

"Oscillating between the collective and the individual, truth and falsehood, past and present, the real and the imaginary, using symbols and devices such as transformation or disguise, The Dancer in the Olive Grove is an attempt to study the relationship of man with History, but at the same time a journey of introspection."
Katerina Kostiou, I Kathimerini

"The Dancer in the Olive Grove is an adventure with anthropological depth, a poetic essay on existence… A model of craftsmanship from all aspects, this novel combines the freshness of inspiration with the perfection of technique."
Niki Kotsiou, Revma Magazine

"The thematic elements of Grigoriadis obey an internal economy, while his tendency towards symbols (the Cavafyan –alienating– origin of Myron, the mystical character of his wandering in the olive grove outside the city, or, more generally, the poetic idea of dance) does not lead him to verbose abstractions or didactic manipulations of the speech or actions of his heroes."
Vangelis Chatzivasileiou, Eleftherotypia

"A catalyst novel, not only for the heroes but also for the reader."
Eleni Ghika, Bibliodeiktis Magazine of the National Book Centre

"The Dancer in the Olive Grove walks the path of modernity: the main narrative voice not only addresses the author, so it is perfectly clear that it is not identified with him, but the author also superficially relinquishes the role of the “all-seeing” and participates as a literary character in the unfolding of the plot."
Dimitris Kokoris, Anti Magazine
