On the occasion of the publication of this anthology, Elisavet Kotzia remarks:

“Book reviews in newspapers and magazines of each era show us how critics received the novels and short stories upon their initial release. From the critical notes I published in the newspaper Kathimerini and in the magazines To Tetarto and Grammata kai Technes, I selected those I believed might interest today’s literature lover, because they may transcend the topical element that by definition characterizes such texts. My one hundred thirty-three critical notes on eighty-two authors—most of whom made their debut after 1974—are incorporated, along with their descriptions, analyses, and evaluations, form part of the colorful, kaleidoscopic picture that emerged from the rich literary output of the post-dictatorship era and its reception by the reading public.”
