He was born in Serres in northern Greece. A graduate of the University of Athens, he went to acting school and worked as an actor for a number of years before turning to writing plays. He has written half a dozen plays. He made his debut as a novelist with Four Walls (2001), which has since been translated into all the major European languages.
