Writer
Zirana Zateli was born in the village of Sohos, Thessaloniki, in 1951. She studied theatre in Athens, but she has been nothing else but writing.
Kastaniotis Editions S.A. has published all of her books; Perssini Aravoniastikia (Last Year's Fiancee, a book of short stories, 1984), translated in French and Italian, Stin Erimia me Hari (In the wilderness with Grace, book of short stories, 1986), Ke Me to Fos tou Likou Epanerhonde (And by the Light of the Wolf They Return, novel, 1993), which won the National Prize for Novel (1994) and was translated in French, German, Italian, Dutch, Serbian and Lithuanian. In 2001, her novel O Thanatos Irthe Telefteos (Death was the Last to Come), was published as the first part of the trilogy Me to Paraxeno Onoma Ramanthis Erevous (With the Strange Name Ramanthis Erevous) which won the National Prize for Novel in 2002.
The second part of the trilogy With the Strange Name Ramanthis Erevous, entitled To Pathos Hiliades Fores (Passion Thousands of Times) was published in 2009. It reconstructs Zirana Zateli's personal, magic universe, where the heroes are born, live and die as auditors of a puzzling melody or as decoders of an enigmatic music score, written to perpetuate the necessity of the obsure and the inexpressible.
