Overview
The murder of his Professor by a postgraduate Physics student during a lecture at Crete University in November 1990 shocked Greece. Many found Yatromanolakis' novel based on the event equally shocking, as he seemed to have more sympathy for the murderer than the victim and transposed his crime to the world of myth. A Report of a Murder has the same teasing style as Tristram Shandy as we enter the author's labyrinth and share in the novel's sense of tragic inevitability and eternal recurrence.Synopsis
