Episode image is a detail from the cover of Une Banale Histoire by Anton Checkov, published in 2004 by Gallimard.
On top of Mount Parnitha just outside Athens, with a storm and a dog and some people in the background, Charles Adrian talks to performer Erifili Stefanidou (not to be confused with the other actress of the same name) for the 57th Second Hand Book Factory. They talk about the most famous book in modern Greek, something splenetic by a famous Russian and something sweet by a relatively famous Frenchman.
Correction: When Charles Adrian says “pilote” he means, of course, “Pilate”.
Oscar Et La Dame Rose by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is also discussed in Page One 176.
