“This elegant translation by Karen Emmerich of a provocative account of C.P. Cavafy’s visit to Paris, based on published sources and archival work combined with novelist Ersi Sotiropoulos’s rich imagination, illuminates an artist in ways that will please both those already familiar with Cavafy and those discovering this great poet of the past century.”
Edmund Keeley, author of Cavafy’s Alexandria and translator, with Philip Sherrard, of C. P. Cavafy: Collected Poems
