A child's gaze can bring any object, even the most stray bits of trash, to life. A true storyteller can seize this living speck and create a virtuoso performance: with a pencil stub, a sip of juice, or even a simple string.
Evgeny Klyuev is one of the most prominent authors writing in Russian today, a poet, philologist, winner of prestigious literary awards, recipient of the Order of the Honorary Dodo, a recognized expert in absurdist literature, and the author of a new translation of 'Alice in Wonderland'—the closest to Lewis Carroll's original text. His tales are included in the school curriculum, performed on large and small stages in different countries, in different languages.
'How the Rope Went Around' - the third volume of the funny and sad, kind and poetic 'Tales of Evgeny Klyuev' - is published by Samokat Publishing House with illustrations by Anna Zhurko.
