Book Synopsis Portrait of a Greek Imagination by : Michael Herzfeld
Book excerpt: Anthropologist Michael Herzfeld first met Greek novelist Andreas Nenedakis in the courtyard of a public library. Their enduring friendship prompted Herzfeld to reconsider both the contours of fiction and the nature of anthropology. Part biography and part ethnography, PORTRAIT OF A GREEK IMAGINATION is Herzfeld's contextualization of Nenedakis's life, as it was both lived and fictionalized. 10 photos.
