The Purloined Letter

“The Purloined Letter has a dolorous stately piercing almost martial music, like an Elizabethan court dance or Miles Davis in his electric period.” —Edwin Frank

Comments on the author’s previous collections include:

“…as Papageorgiou’s curious, delightful book reminds us (and as Dionne Warwick once observed), a house is not a home; it’s always just a little un-familiar, just slightly beyond our easy occupation. Which is precisely what draws us to the door, to the briefly lighted windows.” —David Orr, New York Times Book Review
