30 October: Tatiana Bonch-Osmolovskaya and Gregory Tsarevsky invite a launch of Tatiana's new book made in collaboration with Valery Khazin and Tata Tarasova.
Two short novels in this book are written by two authors separated by two oceans. Telegonus Catalogs were created by Valery Khazin in Nizhny Novgorod, and Lullaby for Cassiphone by Tatiana Bonch-Osmolovskaya in Sydney. There are the stories of Odysseus’ wanderings and returns, the stories of his sons, daughters and lovers, the interwoven stories of warriors and seamen, winners and losers to the priestesses of the Moon, the stories of the women and virgins of Crete: Pasiphae, Ariadne, Circe, and Europe told by themselves. United under one cover, mirroring each other, these texts form a single labyrinth, where the end of one story can serve as a starting point for the other. The readers will appreciate the magic of Tata Tarasova's illustrations that give the texts an additional dimension.
The book launch will take place November 11, at 3 pm, in a private house. If you would like to participate, please let us know and we will provide you with the address.
