“Asilos de Luz” is a book composed of eight short narrations where poetry is concealed under the plots of: a betrayed love abroad, an innocent immolation, the fight against a town’s laws, the long awaited reunion of two lovers, a last twine that brings together moon and sun, and the speed of a winter in Paris. The eight stories are linked by the impossibility of defeating destiny and by the uneasy fight between love and death. Misunderstandings, windows, desires, everyday lives, mythos, memories and fires are what the metaphoric language unveils in the book. Andrei Bezzubikoff, using a minimalist language portrays, what is dark and deep in the being: love, fate, chance and death – all hidden by our routine. Language is the central theme in this book, and it works similarly to the ocean that enwraps light and conceals the Earth's secrets.
Copies of Mr. Bezzubikoff's Asilos de Luz will be available for purchase at the reading.
