SMACHNONO a Smashing Success!
Weren’t there?...We missed you!
If you had come, you would have been circulating in the trendy dining room at DeLuca’s with 117 other Oseredok supporters, sipping cocktails, eating a delicious Italian three-course meal with fabulous wine, spending a buck or two on a chance to win super prizes (a night stay at the Fort Garry Hotel with Sunday Brunch, Gift certificates to Hy’s Steakhouse or The Keg, tickets to see the Royal Winnipeg Ballet or the 2012 Winnipeg Comedy Festival, or an autographed Milt Stegall print !) and listening to the vocal stylings of the Lyra Trio!
We thank everyone who came and enjoyed a great time, and hope that you will come to the next Oseredok fundraiser!
A special thank you to:
Wine sponsor – Belgian-Alliance Credit Union
Raffle sponsors – Fort Garry Hotel, Hy’s Steakhouse, The Keg, Canada
Lyra Trio - Sofia Bilozor, Katrusia Basarab, and Larissa Klymkiw
(We would have posted some photos, but your blogmeister forgot the camera!)

New in the Boutique

Meanwhile, here are just a few new things in the Boutique…
An emotionally resonant tale of family, survival, love and betrayal told with cinematic aplomb.
In the spring of 1938, Teodor Mykolayenko returns to his family after a year spent in prison for the crime of trying to feed them. His wife and children have been living under the care of his sister Anna on the harsh and unforgiving prairie landscape. Channelling the great inner power that enabled him to survive drought, starvation, warfare, and Stalin’s crimes in Ukraine, he takes to the land with unbending resolve, and as the crops grow, his family heals and strengthens. But the family’s hopes and newfound happiness are short-lived when Anna’s rogue husband returns with an unforgiveable plan that threatens to take away everything they have built. A novel about family, pride, the resiliency and fragility of the human spirit and the fine line between those who break and those who don’t, Under This Unbroken Sky is a magnificent piece of storytelling from a remarkable new voice in contemporary literature.
FIELDWORK IN UKRAINIAN SEX by Oksana Zabuzhko, Translated by Halyna Hryn
Called “the most influential Ukrainian book for the 15 years of independence, “Field Work in Ukrainian Sex” by Oksana Zabuzhko is the tale of one woman’s personal revolt provoked by a top literary scandal of the decade. The author, a noted Ukrainian poet and novelist, explains: “When you turn 30, you inevitably start reconsidering what you have been taught in your formative years—that is, if you really seek for your own voice as a writer. In my case, my personal identity crisis had coincided with the one experienced by my country after the advent of independence. The result turned explosive: ‘Field Work in Ukrainian Sex.’”
