From Ithaca to Uruk to . . . Lanka!

We are gathering the crew for another Odyssey together . . . continuing eastward from the Aegean Sea, beyond Mesopotamia to the Indian subcontinent, the home of the epic Ramayana

Rama's adventures have recently been retold through the eyes of his devoted Sita.

For a tantalizing preview of our story, watch the ingenious animated film "Sita Sings the Blues," free online. (Thanks to our friend Scott Samuelson for introducing us to this terrific retelling.)

Join us to discover why Rama is so "blue" in a different way than Sita — and why that monkey god Hanuman keeps following him around.

And mark your calendars for the November 2 "IndiaFest" in Memphis.
