Description
Nora Nadjarian’s poetic prose recreates the known world with startling power. The stories in Ledra Street range from evocative single lines to sardonic yet compassionate accounts of life in the world’s last divided capital. Whether she writes about couples falling in and out of love or recreates the lonely world of the foreign worker in Cyprus, Nora Nadjarian’s short stories come streight from the heart. “…For the short story ‘Ledra Street’, Nadjarian created a fictional fatal accident whose absurdity mirrors the tragic lack of logic with which a street in Nicosia has been cut in half by the partition of the capital city…” – Michael Hanne, Creativity in Exile “…Lemons’ by Nora Nadjarian whose Mediterranean intensity is stunning” – Davide Trame, Orbis “…a Limassol born poet whose work is gaining followers outside Cyprus” – Julian Evans, Guardian
