[MGSA-L] translating Petros Markaris?

Sat Dec 22 13:26:06 PST 2018

On trs. into English of Markaris' novels, Karen van Dyck is right in
suggesting that the Greek publisher could provide the best answer.
Likewise, David Connolly, as Markaris' major translator into English, may
well have info to offer.

in the meanwhile, I'm taking the opportunity to share (see below) the list
of full-length English translations of Markaris' novels from our collection
of the "CENSUS of Modern Greek Literature" (publication forthcoming! http://
<http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/classics/Faculty/dia_philippides.html>
censusofmoderngreekliterature.org). These are the books that we have seen
to date (in English tr.). None of the translated book-length titles appear
to be from the CrisisTrilogy. From *Ληξιπρόθεσμα δάνεια
<https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%CE%9B%CE%B7%CE%BE%CE%B9%CF%80%CF%81%CF%8C%CE%B8%CE%B5%CF%83%CE%BC%CE%B1_%CE%B4%CE%AC%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1&action=edit&redlink=1>,**
the
1st book of the Crisis Trilogy / *Τριλογία της Κρίσεως*, we find online the
(partial) tr. by Karen Emmerich cited below. *

We hope this info is helpful and would be glad to receive news/corrections
if our entries are incomplete or incorrect.
