About the author
Aristides Dimitris is from Larnaca, Cyprus. He was born and raised in Trikala with punk, punk rock, political debates and stories from a world that sometimes collapses and sometimes (or better yet, never) resists. He studied what he didn't want to practice, worked in jobs that didn't suit him, suffered from depression and wrote because he couldn't do anything else.
"Tricalifornia" is his first novel; a tribute to rage, friendship, humorous despair, and revolutionary imagination.
He lives in Trikala or in some secret hideout with music, kefalotiri and raki.

Tricalifornia: Is history our future or just a story?
Can a city exist in two worlds at the same time? Rooted in the Thessalian plain and washed by the Pacific Ocean? And yet, in Aristides Dimitris' "Tricalifornia," nothing is what it seems.
There are some books you just read. And there are others you live. A story that transports you to a world so familiar, yet so different at the same time, that it makes you wonder if the reality you knew is the only one.
This novel is much more than a simple story. It is a revolutionary story, a cry for justice and a promise of upheaval.
