A fiction told by a Greek Aussie, out now at Kingsgrove/Belmore newsagents, Amazon, Adelaide Messinian Association, Brasil, Crystal Palace or Greek Bilingual Bookshop https://bilingualbookshop.com.au/once... WHAT happens when a Greek Aussie, a Cypriot, football and Brexit all meet in Crystal Palace? Canterbury writer and director, Billy Cotsis has just completed his latest book, ‘Once Upon a Time in Crystal Palace’, his fourth since 2016. Similar to his short film satires in 2010, the book is centred on a fictional Greek Aussie called Phillipos, an out of form player in London who was born and bred in Canterbury and is likely to return home, having been deemed a flop. The Greek Aussie and his buddies are navigating a range of problems, egos, domestic violence, gambling and the meaning of heart and friendship. They are joined by Jamal who is their struggling captain; he has to hold the egos of his team together when Palace suddenly appoints a woman, Fernandinha, as an assistant manager. There is also an appearance of a character who is based on Sydney Olympic star striker footballer Alex Sanchez. His brilliance on the pitch at Belmore is described in the book; he brings his form to the ailing team after receiving a ‘call’ when at training at Belmore Sports Ground. “The fact I was a resident in Crystal Palace for a few years, I thought it would be a good time to write a story that takes in the divisiveness of Brexit,” Billy said. “To make it work, I drew on a range of stories I experienced, witnessed or read about in London and elsewhere to create characters who play for a fictional football team.” As a patriotic Lesvian, Billy makes his usual references to Lesvos and also found a way to mention Mytilenean House in Canterbury.
