I'd Like

The thirteen short stories that make up Amanda Michalopoulou's I’d Like

read like versions of an unwritten novel: each riveting tale resonates

with the others, and yet a sense of their connectedness remains

tantalizingly out of grasp. Instead, we are presented with a

kaleidoscope of characters and events, signs and emotions, linked by the

uncanny repetition of certain details: blossoming almond trees, red

berets, bleeding feet, accidents small and large. Michalopoulou’s

characters are both patently fictitious and profoundly real, as they

move through a world in which even the smallest of everyday occurrences

can take on enormous significance. I’d Like offers a touching, utterly unique reading experience from one of Greece’s most innovative young storytellers.
