1 Interview Antigone Kefala Effie Carr , Vrasidas Karalis (interviewer), Anna Couani (interviewer), 2023 single work interview
— Appears in: Kalliope X , Summer no. 5 2023;

'I was sent a copy of the recording of this interview by my friend Anna Couani around the time Antigone Kefala was awarded The Patrick White Literary Award on 24 November 2022, shortly before her death on 3 December 2022. The timing of the award was bittersweet, for her many fans and admirers. The interview was recorded in her home in Annandale and is more of a conversation between Antigone Kefala, Vrasidas Karalis and Anna Couani. It is Antigone Kefala’s last interview. She had given an interview in March 2022, one month prior, to her publisher and friend Ivor Indyk of Giramondo Publishing. I had the good fortune to meet Antigone Kefala and the author Yota Krili at an afternoon tea at Anna Couani’s house in December 2021.' (Introduction)

— Review of Roots : Home is Who We Are : Voices from the SBS Emerging Writers’ Competition 2021 anthology short story 'Full-time transmission of SBS television in Australia began on 24 October 1980. The first broadcast was a documentary by Peter Luck entitled Who Are We? Forty years later, Roots: Home is Who We Are echoes an answer to that question and suggests that we are ‘home’ now, with all the loaded, subjective meanings of that word.'

1 2 y separately published work icon Stamatia X Effie Carr , Sydney : Primer Fiction , 2018 18108089 2018 single work novel

'Weaving Greek mythology, religion and the study of grammar, Stamatia X is the story of a Greek-Australian girl whose parents make the monumental decision to re-migrate "like birds flying backwards" to Greece.

'The year is 1973 and a military junta is in power. This modern Greek tragedy subverts notions of family, culture and gender. A yiayia in a swimsuit, a blasphemous Greek Orthodox priest, a corrupt regime. An explosive epic.' (Publication summary)
