Fiction
Beware of the dog
by Christodoulos Litzerinos
Science fiction and magic realism go hand in hand with the satire of modern Greece in this gripping novel that won 1st prize in the 2nd Novel Contest by Strange Days Books in 2017. The country's dream production has hit rock bottom. Panic ensues among the highest ranks of the government. Unless the citizens start dreaming immediately, and in the right way, the country will have to declare dream bankruptcy! And then everything will start falling apart. But what measures will it take to make them obey? A deeply political book that can also be read as a thriller set in an imaginary country and in an undetermined time that could perfectly be our near future, if not already our past.
