SUMMARY:Free event in Barbican Library - Book launch: Jonah & His 
 Daughter
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Thursday, 16th May, 6-7pmLocation: Barbican
  LibraryJoin us for the book launch of Jonah and His daughter! Award-w
 inning Romanian author, Ioana Pârvulescu, will discuss her latest boo
 k with George Stanica, former BBC world journalist.Jonah and His Daugh
 ter is the Romanian author Ioana Pârvulescu's latest book to be publ
 ished in English. It offers us an affectionate and vivid account of th
 e reluctant, recalcitrant prophet Jonah, passed down from mother to da
 ughter over the course of thousands of years, from the eighth century 
 B.C. to the present day. In a sweeping narrative that pans out from th
 e ancient port of Jaffa in the eastern Mediterranean to the modern-day
  cities of Prague, Munich, London and Bucharest, the first storyteller
  we meet is Jonah’s daughter herself, and the last is a proud mother
  of twins in our own time. A colourful, variegated tapestry of tales w
 ithin tales that inter- weaves myth, legend, family histories, and psy
 chologies, the novel expands upon a familiar Biblical story in order t
 o meditate on permanence and change, on the unfolding of self through 
 storytelling, and the irreducible mystery of the narrated self.Free ev
 ent, tickets can be booked via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.
