The weird attractiveness of Giannis Skaribas
In the subject of Modern Greek Literature and more precisely, when teaching the short story of Giannis Skaribas ?Three empty chairs? in B1 class, the Greek Language and Literature teacher Ms. Efthalia Papadaki invited, on 5 November 2021, the Professor of Modern Greek Literature from the Department of Greek Studies, University of Patras, Ms. Katerina Kostiou to have an online discussion with the students.
Ms. Kostiou has extensively dealt with the publication and analysis of the work of G. Skaribas. She mentioned that she, herself, discovered his special writing style in a period when it was underestimated in the history of Modern Greek Literature, due to its peculiarity, and she talked with the students about their experience of their contact with this specific text and the peculiar use of satire, irony, parody and humour in Skaribas? work.
