'Fathers From the Edge - a companion book to Mothers from the Edge - is a fascinating collection of narratives that examines the complex relationships between Greek-Australian writers andf their fathers. Touched with pain and humour, these stories will delight not just the Greek-Australian Reader, but anyone interested in how people living between cultures untangle the cmplexities of dual lives and pave the way for understanding and compassion.'

Works about this Work

Negotiating with the Dads Gillian Bouras , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Women's Book Review , vol. 28 no. 1 2019; (p. 27-29) 'IN 2006, Helen Nickas, a Greek-Australian, published an anthology titled Mothers from the Edge, a collection of tributes by twenty-eight Greek-Australian women to their mothers. Nine years later, Fathers from the Edge appeared: in this anthology both men and women, twenty-four in number, write about their fathers, who are or were invariably immigrants to Australia. Some of these men were twice displaced, and many were witnesses to unspeakable horrors, being of the generation whose childhood and youth were deeply affected by the German occupation and the Greek Civil War. Both anthologies feature writing that is simply and directly expressed, while being often deeply introspective. In recollecting their relationships with their parents, the writers wrestle with problems both past and present.'  (Introduction)
