THE GANGSTERS : A Cypriot novella by Lefkios Zafiriou,
translated from the Greek with an introduction and notes by Stathis Gauntlett
At a time when the reunification of Cyprus and Cypriots is thought to be
achievable, Lefkios Zafiriou's highly acclaimed and controversial work of
autobiographical fiction "The Gangsters" is more relevant than ever. Set in
the now almost mythical times when ordinary Greek and Turkish Cypriots
shared the privations of life in a neglected British colony, the novella
engages robustly with issues of great sensitivity to all Cypriots, right
from its title through to the last words on the final page. The original
Greek version was awarded a state prize for fiction and hailed as something
new in Cypriot literature; this extensively annotated translation can serve
as a starting point for an understanding of the uniquely tortured story of
modern Cyprus.
