Vit Babenco's Reviews > Winter's Tale

Winter’s Tale is written in the language of wizardry in the style of magic and it belongs to magical reality where everything becomes surreal at the slightest touch of a quill.

The city exploded upon him, bursting through the ring of white shells that crowned his head. He staggered about the fire and tumult of Broadway and the Bowery, not understanding everything he saw. For instance, a man turned a handle on a box, and music came out, while a small being, half-animal and half-man, danced about on the street and collected things in his hat.

Poetry of the city… Music of the streets… Charms of youth… Sorcery of love…

They gave themselves up to the stars the way swimmers can surrender to the waves, and the stars took them without resistance.

The witchcraft of love turns winter into a fairytale and town noises become music of the spheres.
