10 Philosophical Novels That Don't Exist

By Christina Gerekou

Consider yourself a literary aficionado? Well, have you read Anastasios Pantazaras's 2018, The War Correspondent? How about Eugenia Patakia's 2025, The Entryists? Surely, you're familiar with Jeremy Treadgold's prize-winning, Right Speech?If the answer is no, no and no, then don't worry, because none of the above exists. They're all the creation of the enigmatic Greek critic, Christina Gerekou.Because as well as producing formal critiques of novels you definitely will have heard of, Gerekou is renowned for her 'guerilla placement' of the odd imaginary work of fiction (with a philosophical agenda), often in the pages of quite respectable literary journals.The Entryists, for example, looks at the suitability of modern party-politics for a democracy; Right Speech considers the value of linguistic diversity; The War Correspondent deals with the scope and limits of the pursuit of truth in current affairs. Gerekou's analysis typically combines serious engagement with satire on intellectual pretension. She is both searching and funny.Here are ten of her most famous reviews. True, the novels they treat don't exist, but, after reading this, you may wish they did.
