| "The text of this book is an imagined conversation between two women separated by a thousand years of Middle East antiquity: Esther, the Jewish Queen of the story of Purim, and Sheherazade, the Muslim heroine of 'A Thousand and One Nights'. There are many similarities in their stories: both were second wives of insomniac kinds, both were women in harems, both spoke up and using language as the only weapon at hand, saved many lives." Lynne Avadenka
"Lynne Avadenka wrote the text, designed the book structure and created the original drawings, using gouache, powdered graphite and letterpress printing." (from the colophon) |
