Pantelis

In these multi-layered longish short stories in Pantelis, characters are fitted into a realistic world with life happening around them outside of their mental illnesses. As such it has a great impact on the reader. The characters are presented as whole human beings existing in the real world around us; they aren't 'just mad people'. Imagery is used effectively, bringing the work to life and allow readers to engulf themselves in the book by engaging their different senses; especially that of feeling and not just physically. The book has the potential of building awareness around mental health in a creative, yet subjective way. This impacts on audience engagement and response as well as the reader.
