Students, faculty and friends of the Modern Greek Program at Ohio State University, where The Miltiadis Marinakis Professorship for Modern Greek Language and Culture was recently established, will meet, via an online platform, for a weekly reading in Greek, of a novel by Petros Markaris, which has been translated into several languages.
A discussion follows, mostly in English, and with a translation available.
Advanced students of Greek will also enjoy the reading of a murder mystery, written in modern Greek, in the tradition of Yannis Maris, but with a timely edge, one touching on the financial crisis affecting Greece and much of the world.
Meetings normally last for about an hour and are usually held on Thursdays at 3 p.m. EDT (20.00 GMT).
