Petros Markaris
Greece

There is no better writer on traffic jams anywhere in the world. Markaris, a successful playwright and screenwriter, uses the traffic as a way of portraying the mess that is modern Athens, and offers plenty more on its confused politics and business life. His central character, Inspector Costas Haritos, was a “baddie” under the military dictatorship. He reads dictionaries, jokes about racism and immigration – “There are two things I can’t stand. Racism, and blacks” – and loves stuffed peppers, his wife’s recipe for which appears as an addendum to one novel Photograph: PR
