Greek-American authors

Greek-American authors are writers of Greek descent who produce literary works in English, often drawing on their rich cultural heritage. They explore themes of identity, immigration, and the blending of Greek and American cultures. Notable authors include Nikos Kazantzakis, known for "Zorba the Greek," and Jeffrey Eugenides, awarded the Pulitzer Prize for "Middlesex." Their works often reflect personal experiences, historical perspectives, and the struggles of adapting to a new environment, enriching American literature with unique voices and stories that resonate beyond their cultural origins.
