The Greeks in Australia
Ikons; A Collection of Stories. By George Papaeillnas. Penguin, 1986. 198 pp George Papaeillnas' collection of short-stories moves a stage further into the rootless world of some of the children of Greek immigrants. These stories are about Papaeillnas’ generation — Greek kids unable to speak fluent Greek, "Into a Further Dimension" is a fine story; a Greek boy is thrust Into the world of Public School Classics and compares It with what his peasant parents believe. "Around the Crate" Is set on the factory floor amid the tensions of the old world’s politics — Greek versus Turkish and a boy is forced to take sides. Each story explores a different aspect of contemporary GreekAustralian life, These are powerful sketches. — Ruth Zanker.
