Under the Sign of the Labyrinth, Christina Tudor-Sideri

June 28, 7pm (BST)

“There is no need to place your hand on a wound to feel it throbbing in pain. There is no need to see its root to know that a tree is dying. I am renouncing history. A film frame has lost its meaning. Vain and cruel, I have become a self that contains all negations to come, I have escaped the universe of time and space—page after page, touch after touch, train after train.”

Join us on Friday June 28, at 7pm (BST), for a discussion of Christina Tudor-Sideri’s Under the Sign of the Labyrinth. The book is available directly from the publisher, at a much better price than the tax-dodging giant. Order early to avoid problems with the overseas delivery.

This is a difficult book to describe — part memoir, part collection of essays, part philosophy. Here’s a good review by Joseph Schreiber, which as always, I recommend you read after reading the book.

Christina Tudor-Sideri is a writer and translator living in Eastern Europe. Her work deals with the absent body and its anonymous rhythms, myth, memory, narrative deferral, and the imprisonment of the mind within the time and space of its corporeal vessel.
