ALREADY EXISTED PLAGIARISM ALLEGATION In 2008, Stamatis was accused by literary critic and author Kostas Katsoularis of "copying and pasting" several passages in his book Villa Combray from the novel Elizabeth Costello of the South African-born Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee.[citation needed] Stamatis defended his choices as being part of the standard "intertextual references" and "creative discourse".[3]

PROOF THAT THE ALLEGATION IS FLASE COMPLETED WITH LINKS

However, a word count was conducted, and the conclusion was that only 41 words from Elizabeth Costello were used to stress out the intertextuality of Coetzee himself. These words were in turn Coetzee’s reference to James Joyce’s famous character Molly Bloom in connection with an equally famous quote by Montaigne. Stamatis’ Villa Combray contains 80.000 words. Therefore, the word count was considered quite low as a percentage. This fact is rather evident, and one can prove it by reading the book. https://www.politeianet.gr/books/9789600346145-stamatis-alexis-kastaniotis-bila-kompre-201485 Moreover, the book received outstanding reviews from the majority of the literary critics, who praised intertextuality as the book’s main virtue and the pertinent use of intertextual references, and its successful integration in the narrative. To quote a few critics: “Intertextuality that subtly undermines the realistic circumstance, from Dickens to Proust, and also the exotic tradition and convention…” Titika Dimitroulia, Kathimerini, 10.08.08 https://www.dimitroulia.gr/teleia_pseydaisthisi_toy_pragmatikoy_pezografos_alexis_stamatis_xtizei-article-453.html?category_id=65 “A trip to Africa, to the depths of the Cameroon Jungle, where the realistic fiction, suddenly enters a magic realm echoing back to the atmosphere of House of Darkness by Joseph Conrad”. Vaggelis Hatzivasileiou, 8.06.08

Finally, the book Villa Combray, was nominated for one of the most eminent book prizes established by “Diavazo” in 2008. A member of the committee was the literary critic and author Kostas Katsoularis himself, who in his honor after all this public debate, did not object to the book being nominated. https://www.athensvoice.gr/culture/book/38433_kryfakoygontas-tin-kritiki-epitropi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alstamatis (talk • contribs) 16:14, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
