Andrew Calimach's early years were spent under the Ceausescu dictatorship in Romania. He came away from that experience with a healthy distaste for censorship, which informs his studies as well as his politics. He divides his time between New York and Bucharest, and continues his studies and writing. In researching Lovers' Legends, he devoted three years to collect the ancient texts in translation, and traveled to Italy, England, Austria, Greece and France to gather the artwork for the book. His fluency in five languages was a great help to him in compiling sources for the book. In order to fully bring the stories to life, Calimach then brought in Agnes Lev, the noted Israeli director, who worked intensely over the space of six months with the author, the reader of the stories, the musician and the engineer in order to discover the dramatic essence of the stories and to render them in a way that honors the ancient theatrical tradition of the Greeks. Calimach is an independent scholar who writes on gender studies and other social issues, and runs workshops on the gay Greek myths. - http://www.haidukpress.com/LLU/Lovers_Legends_Unbound.html
