Constantine Kokossis Greece    PWF 2011

Constantine Kokossis was born in 1951 in Athens. He studied law in Athens and international relations in Brussels. In 1976, he joined the Foreign Ministry—serving in Cyprus, the United States, Turkey, Ethiopia and Albania.

As a trained observer, Kokossis tends to pinpoint—with irony, sarcasm and a pinch of self-criticism—the precise historical backdrops which snare the protagonists in his novels: The Rise of the West, The Diversion, and Achilles' Long Journey.

For Kokossis, the social fabric makes the man.

Constantine Kokossis resides in Prague as the Ambassador of Greece.
