Academy of Athens Literary Prize for Yiorgos Chouliaras



Yiorgos Chouliaras received the Academy of Athens Prize for Fiction given
for “his work in its entirety” by the Kostas & Eleni Ourani Foundation that
funds this literary lifetime achievement award. The citation noted the
author’s “innovative writing and his impressive ability to offer
continuously unexpected, inspired creations.” Chouliaras is the author of
the “alphabetical novel” Dictionary of Memories (2013), an anti-memoir
structured as a dictionary. He has previously published several collections
of poetry, including Iconoclasm [Image-Fighting] (1972), his first book,
The Treasure of the Balkans (1988), Fast Food Classics (1992), Gramma
[Letter] (1995), and the retrospective volume Roads of Ink (2005), as well
as numerous essays, in Greek and in English, on literature, cultural
history, and international relations. His work in English translation has
been published in major periodicals and anthologies, while it has been
translated into several other languages. Born in Thessaloniki, he has
studied, lived and worked in Oregon, New York, Canada, Boston, Washington,
DC, and Dublin before returning to Athens.
