Book Presentation at University of Arizona, December 8th, 2010








This was another excellent opportunity to meet with students and faculty University of Arizona, who are so kindly invited me to present my new book "Mother's Will" in Russian ("Завещание Матери").
I am so grateful to meet my readers and share my Uighur culture with people, who live thousands miles away. We listened to the music played by Dervishi, ate Uighur samsa and talked about literature. Special thanks for Dr. Zura Dotton and other faculty members for organizing such an event. In one the picture, you see a vase made of gourd by an Uighur artist from Kazakhstan, Hashim Kurban, whose wonderful paintings illustrated my book.
