THE MEMORIAL FEAST FOR KOKOTOY KHAN: A Kirghiz Epic Poem in the Manas Tradition
The bravura story of an uncertain new khan, Boqmurun, who holds a great feast to commemorate his predecessor, Kokotoy. From east and west, warriors and their turbulent retinues come to compete in horse races, jousting and wrestling, and soon insults are hurled and scores settled violently. Yet none can beat the mighty, truculent Manas. Photos.
