Industry Reviews
"It doesn't seem far from a miracle to me, the emergence of as friendly and joyful a book."
"'The Colossus of Maroussi' is probably unlike anything else ever written about Greece before.... He (Miller) is a natural born writer and he sees things as nobody else sees them."
"... the one I like best of all, and I'd like to be remembered by, of all them is, 'The Colossus of Maroussi,' my book on Greece."
