[News Boquete] For Immediate Release

BOQUETE, PANAMA, June 6 – Book News!

Boquete author Demetrius Koubourlis has just released his latest book, My Ailing Champion: A Memoir (June 2024). It is now available on Amazon.com, in both Paperback (click) and Kindle (click) formats.

 

 

My Ailing Champion details the harsh environment of the Nazi occupation in Greece and the many obstacles the author faced to get an education in the post-WW II years. Ultimately, the family beat up the author and tossed him into the streets hungry and penniless, robbing him of his education dream forever. It was for America to throw a lifeline and enable the author to get an education, even a Ph.D. In this sometimes tragic yet sometimes humorous memoir, the author expresses his deep gratitude for a chance at the American Dream and bemoans the current state of America, his ailing champion.
   Maturing in America, the author developed his critical thinking abilities and prefers evolution to revolution, and conversation to confrontation when attempting to find common ground.

Advance praise for My Ailing Champion:

·       "Pointed, pained, touching account of coming to America for learning and freedom." – Booklife (Click here for the entire Booklife review)

·       "… the book's narrative offers an inspirational read when it's focused on the author's personal triumphs. The author employs an accessible, engaging style that's distinct from that of his peer-reviewed, academic writings…An often absorbing, if occasionally polemic, immigration remembrance and defense of the American dream." – Kirkus Reviews (Click here for the entire Kirkus Reviews review)

·       "A dreamer's vicissitudes and the agony of coming of age in Greece." – Chris Poulos
