'Christodoulou represents the leading edge of a new generation of Kazantzakis scholars, and her book stands poised to bring this Cretan poet-novelist into conversation with a new group of European thinkers, writers like Umberto Eco and Mikhail Bakhtin.

Middleton, Religious Studies Review 39:2 (June 2013), p. 94.
