JONATHAN FRANZEN

Announcing Paravion Press

“There was her, and then there was the rest of the world, and by the very way she chose to speak to him she was reproaching him for placing his allegiance with the rest of the world. And who could fault him for preferring the world?”

I've mentioned my love for a very magical bookstore perched on the cliffs of a small island in the south of the Aegean Sea in a previous post, and I've been thinking about my friends at Atlantis Books of Santorini, Greece again lately, because the shop needs our help. After 3,000 years times are tough in Greece. Atlantis Books is only seven years old but needs to find a new bag of tricks to stay in business. It's run by a group of designers, educators and book lovers who've long dreamed of doing more than just selling books, so now they're making them too. This new publishing venture and imprint of Atlantis Books is called Paravion Press.
