TITLE   Mortal Divide - autobiography of Yiorgos Alexandroglou
AUTHOR   ALEXANDER, George
DESCRIPTION   Subtitled the autobiography of Yorgas Alexandroglou, Alexander's book is a meditation upon & search for some sufficient mix of roots in & continuity between himself & his patrimony - a tracing of the masculinities (in triumph & in crisis) that he descrys in himself, his father & his father's father- Alexandrian Greeks in Egypt, in Greece & in Australia. '(T)hat name is the distance I must travel to make friends with myself' the text remarks of the thick vowels & consonants of the surname - in a monologue addressed (into the future) to the author's still infant daughter. "Surely one of the most literary achievements to come out of Australia to date"- says Ivor Indyk, Heat magazine
