"Tunnel Vision". Premiere of Jaunius Petraitis' book

A year ago, while building a house and writing his debut book, Jaunius Petraitis proved he had something. Today, Jaunius Petraitis is already a writer, not just a marketer and humanist who was "struck by a book" while building a house. He has now been "struck" by a second book, "Tunnel Vision", so on November 20 at 6:00 PM, in the Star Hall of the Ąžuolynas Library (Radastų St. 2, 1st floor), Jaunius Petraitis, together with Ąžuolynas Readers' Club coordinator and literary scholar Donata Bocullo, will delve into those tunnels of writing and life choices. Jaunius' second novel invites us to take a side look at our own and others', state and individual tunnels, in which we are all tirelessly digging. We hope to get the heroes of the new novel talking, those who are still missing something for happiness: a lonely advisor to a minister waiting for a message that will help sort out her life, a rhyming diplomat who not only saves the state but also seeks recognition in the world of true writers, and clients who need visibility until their last breath. We will also meet Gojus, a marketer lost between two novels, who asks: "How are you feeling these days? Don't you get the feeling that something is missing?" A book that will certainly not be included in the Lithuanian literature curriculum. Because it is the most accurate satire of cultural and public discourse written in Lithuania to date. The absurdity of "true values" and patriotic lorem ipsum is masterfully and precisely dissected. About today's Lithuania and the painfully recognizable types of its characters. A book that is talentedly written, meaningful, and at the same time devilishly funny. – Ieva Koncevičiūtė Jaunius Petraitis' new novel draws you in from the very first pages – just like the Dubysa into its depths. The author handles satire perfectly, which this time flows from marketing and construction into the public and perhaps even the dark sectors. I smiled often while reading, which is, of course, a compliment to a writer who creates wittily, accurately, and is not afraid to challenge canons and clichés. After closing the last page, there is a desire to stay in the universe created by Jaunius, so I very much hope there will be a third novel someday. – Mažvydas Jastramskis The event will be photographed and/or filmed, so you may be visible in event photos or videos that may be published in various media outlets.
