How Ignatios Karathodoris lost everything

State Prize 2023 Debut Author

"The Reader" magazine debut author award 2023

As soon as he finished school, Ignatios Karathodoris knew he wanted to escape: from Komotini, a town consisting of "a square and a fountain"; from his mother, who was constantly cleaning a house with old and heavy furniture; from his father, whose mind was always in a ridiculous calzone shop; from a boring life. That is why, when he finally moved to Athens, Ignatius decided to become a different person. As a student now, he is happier than ever. Everything seems "crazy" to him and he enjoys it insatiably. But the more Ignatius explores his new life, the more difficult it seems to become. His new girlfriend, Virginia, is made of strange stuff. Why, Mr. Marchese? Very strange case of an employer. Not to mention Mr. Gopa: the man always wants more, more, more! Ignatius does not want his new life in Athens to fail. But trying to exhaust all his potential, he exhausts himself. And as he finds himself shifting into a vast digital world where anything is possible, he learns firsthand what it means to lose everything.
