Publisher Description: New Zealand novelist JOAN ROSSITER - JONES says about the 24 short stories in Blood and Koka Kola: "This collection of short stories by poet and artist, Christodoulos Moisa, is everything such a book should be. The author has put his artist's eyes and poet's ear to good use. The stories have the sparseness of Hemingway and resonate with an understanding of the human condition - a prerequisite of the genre. They make compelling reading and the subject matter ranges from macabre to historical, from the mythical to the quirky, some enigmatic, others rich with humour and irony; all written with perfect pitch. The mix of New Zealanders and Cypriots reflects the author's own history and lends authenticity to the stories. It is a treasure." |
