Kay Tsitseli was born in Marsaille in 1926 from Greek parents. Her father came from Kefalonia. She moved in Athens in 1936 but the German Occupation found her in Kefalonia. She traveled in many countries: England, Italy, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Nigeria. During the 50s Kay Tsitseli begun writing for the first time as an English speaking writer, publishing five books- the first one was the “Eukolos Dromos” (1950)- that covered all the prose spectrum: fiction, novels and narrations. She settled in Greece in 1656 and entered the Greek world of literature in 1979 translating her last novel, “O Dromos pros ton Kolono”. There followed two collections written in Greek: “To Xameno Patoma” (1984) and “O Xoros ton Oron” (1998) for which she gained her first State Prize for her writings. The novel “Othanatos mias Polis” is her second book translated in English and published in 2000 by Agra editions. It was first published in 1954, and refers to the earthquake that destroyed Kefalonia in August 1953, an earthquake that she herself also lived. Her translations were also important. She translated in Greek Strati Tsirka’s “Akivernites Polities” and many other works written by Kosta Tsahti, Zisimo Loranzo, Meni Koymantarea, Peter Ambanzogloy, Aggeloy Vlahoy and Reas Galanaki.
