Cora Sire, author of Behold Things Beautiful and other books. Kessaris is generous with his story-telling. His collection features 24 semi-truthful tales, each with a nice twist revealing the narrator's personality in bit-size doses. -- Ian Shaw, Ottawa Review of Books -- author of The Quill of the Dove The stories in The Butcher of Park Ex are sometimes irreverent, and at times even a little sad, but they're always filled with humour and honesty. Andreas Kessaris tells it like it is and doesn't shy away from self-deprecation. He could be the star of his own sitcom, a sort of Greek Anglo-Montrealer mix of Kramer and George in Seinfeld. If someone asked me which Greek God best represents Andreas, I would answer: The one that couldn't sit still, broke the mould, and doesn't have his own statue. -- Jacques Filippi, co-editor of Montreal Noir Andreas Kessariss collection of short stories will delight the reader.
