Enjoy a reading from Joram Piatigorsky new book The Open Door, and Other Tales of Love and Yearning, his new book of short stories, released April 2nd by Adelaide Books.
He also will present part of his Inuit art collection (one of the largest in the U.S.) – which served as the inspiration for many of the whimsical, artistic, and inviting stories that will greet you at The Open Door.
Inuit art refers to artwork produced by Inuit people, that is, people of the Arctic. The Inuit, through their artistic works, which include carvings and sculptures, express their culture and the natural beauty of the Arctic. Inuit Art Carvings often depict the animals of the Arctic or figures that represent Inuit folklore, mythology and religion, which took the form of nature worship. Read more on Joram’s Inuit Beautiful Blog.
Joram is the son of the Cellist Gregor Piatigorsky and Baroness Jacqueline de Rothschild. His recent memoir, “The Speed of Dark”, which blends a lifetime in science studying eyes and genetics with the mystery and beauty of art, will also be available for purchase.
Arts Club’s well known writer and former Literary Events chair Sandra Beasley will be conducting an interview with Joram about his writing.
“Joram Piatigorsky audaciously weaves the fantastic with the familiar to show what love can do to those who yearn for it.
Nothing is impossible in the worlds he creates, while the characters who experience the startling transformations that occur could be ourselves.
Surprise and recognition are the hallmarks of these utterly original and delightful stories.”
– Kate Blackwell, author of You Won't Remember This: Stories
“The prose is precise, and their characters surprise with their longing to change their lives, when they struggle to make sense of their histories, and when they find beauty in uncommon places and persons.”
- – Sergio Troncoso, author of The Last Tortilla and Other Stories
“The stories in Joram Piatigorsky’s The Open Door are full of imagination, curiosity, and human longing. A lively, engaging read.”
– Elizabeth Poliner, author, As Close to Us as Breathing
