The night sleeps
by Stella Dede
Description
What happens at night, when we sleep? It’s the time we fall in the rabbit hole and all shapes and sizes change and we’re judged by the 52 playing cards of the weeks of the year and they condemn us to death, our fate, so that we may wake up in the morning as good as new and wiser.
Stella Dede’s first book is a largely poetic short story collection accompanied with poems and sketches by Giannis Pantikakis.

The art of literary works like the ones by Stella Dede has its own spells to cast bitterness away and transform sadness and the fear of dying into the will to live for all those who do not simply hear, but really listen and reflect.
