In the year 2029, an unemployed author and translator struggles through Greece’s rural scenery to make a new start, terrorist attacks convert Greece to a wellsian dystopia of hunters and preys; homeless refugees and an astrophysicist all play a crucial role in stories within stories, framing masterfully a novel of existential depth.
“Valleys of Fear” is a philosophical novel of ideas. Consisted of two parts and an intermezzo, Deligiorgi’s novel touches upon the subjects of fluid postmodernity: terrorism, ecology, unemployment. Through various ordinary characters, the author presents us the faces of world economic, political and cultural crisis.
“We would say that The Valleys of Fear is a novel that promises to reward mainly readers who wish to reflect, to think, but also to learn.”—Ifigenia Siafaka, Hartis Magazine
