The son of a primary school teacher, Kostis Papagiorgis was born in 1947 in Neohori, Ipati and lives in Athens. He studied law in Thessaloniki and philosophy in Paris, but an almost pathological devotion to reading led him into bookselling. Later, on returning to Athens, he started translating philosophy for a living and more recently turned to writing essays, largely confessional in nature. He has written on intoxication, jealousy, misanthropy, the dead, resentment, friendship and war.
