A large and receptive audience gathered to hear about Clift’s ‘translation’ of Kalymnian culture in her memoir Mermaid Singing. In a conversation chaired by Writers Festival Director Helen Vatsikopoulos, I talked with the book’s Greek translator, Fotini Pipi, andAustralian Ambassador to Greece, Arthur Spyrou, who appeared via Zoom from Athens.
