The first one, When You Said No, Did You Mean Never?, which the New York Times called "disconcerting and magnetic", was also published in Spanish by Bartleby Editores in Madrid. Whether it's a road trip through Alabama and Tennessee, her childhood in Greece or a few days of isolation at the Hotel Bel Air on assignment, Papageorgiou mines the personal to try to outline what it means to be alive.
