If you thought you were looking at a Joyce novel, then you’re wrong. Onstage comes actor and writer Ivan Okhlobystin with his brand-new book in which “Uliss” is… an old clock with special properties. What if we manage to fix it and, listening to the wondrous music of the mechanism, find ourselves in a parallel reality where everyone has completely different biographies? And if, like the heroes of this gripping prose, we can meet again those we once loved but didn’t have time to tell in our fast-running life? The author gives us a wonderful opportunity to think about this. A witty, lively novel saturated with adventures of heroes who are so much like us is complemented by notes about childhood, family, and dacha stories—where the charmingly impudent nature of the author shows itself with total clarity.
