Stylish, philosophical literary noir against a burning Athenian background.
Washed-up writer and wanderer of Athens’ nightlife, Michalis Krokos is happier watching the Johnny Depp trial than getting down to his next book. But a visit from a mysterious prosecutor with news that his friend Rebecca, s sharp-tongued trans sex worker is in trouble with a violent far-right group shakes him out of his apathy. Krokos agrees to go undercover as a fake news copywriter inside the group’s inner circle: write a few lines, steal a few secrets. But what begins as a rescue mission soon spirals into sinister blackmail plots and political paranoia.
Darkly comic literary noir and portrait of post-crisis Greece, Deepfake explores truth, loyalty and the absurd theatre of modern politics, against the background of a sweltering, sleepless, high-summer Athens.
Deepfake was shortlisted for the 2025 European Union Prize for Literature.
