Summary/Abstract: “Report to Greco” by Nikos Kazantzakisis completely out of the genre criteria. It is not a novel, memoir, diary, essay, itinerary,or autobiography, but it is all of them.Between the prologue and the epilogue,the narrataire disappears, the story is constantly transformed, the author uses all available “materials” (diaries, letters,feelings, memory) to create fictional,intellectual, spiritual, metaphysical, historical and philosophical autobiography, changing the subject, discourse and form and turning the book into an amorphous autobiography and a key for the interpretation of his other works.
