Literary Fame for Nikos Siragas
Greek turner Nikos Siragas is to appear as himself in a novel
to be published late summer 2011 by Cosmos Publications, the largest publisher
of Greek subject books in the world. The book, Labyrinthine Ways by American
authoress Aurelia, is written in English and tells the story of a young
woman who wants to become a woodturner and travels to Crete to take lessons
with Nikos and explore Crete. The novel describes the art of woodturning
in detail and also includes many interesting aspects of the island of Crete,
mentioning several other real people along the way. The author contacted
Nikos over a year ago for some background detail and then asked permission
to use his name and character in the novel. She had found Nikos' details
from the American Association of Woodturners (of which Nikos is a member)
and had visited turner Robert Rosand to gain an insight into woodturning.
Aurelia will be visiting the UK, Australia and Greece to promote the book
later this year.
