Los Miralles

La primera novela de Kike Cherta parte de una premisa tan sugerente como original. Los Miralles, una atípica familia valenciana, están convencidos de que el manzano que crece en el patio de su alquería es de origen divino. De hecho, creen que es el mismísimo Árbol del Bien y del Mal que aparece en la Biblia, el mismo del que comieron Adán y Eva embaucados por una serpiente parlanchina. Desde hace generaciones, tienen una única misión: vigilarlo noche y día para que nadie vuelva a probar jamás del fruto prohibido. En este sorprendente debut, Kike Cherta indaga en las paradojas propias de cualquier tradición, en las siempre complejas dinámicas familiares y en la culpa asociada a las raíces. Envuelta en un aura mágica que casi no deja diferencias lo que es real de lo que es milagro, el libro se nutre de un punto medio ideal entre trascendencia y humor. Religión, familia e identidad se mezclan en una suerte de comedia negra profanamente bíblica.

Težka voda

V svetu, ki ga naseljujejo Ida, Marta, Tone in Lojze, na vrtovih gnijejo paradižniki, na nočnih omaricah ždijo nagačeni zajci, krave pa je treba slej kot prej ustreliti med oči. Nič čudnega, če na blatni zemlji komu usodno spodrsne ali pa mu glavo spešta kakšno drevo; Gospod vendarle daje in jemlje, povrh vsega pa še odpušča. V romanu Težka voda, svojstveni anatomiji krivde, ki prelamlja s tradicijo slovenske povesti, se drobci iz življenja starejše protagonistke Ide med posledicami zamolčane preteklosti in neizživete prihodnosti postopoma sestavljajo v okrušeno celoto. Ta v ekspresivnem, dovršenem slogu razkriva predvsem bridko resnico o prepletenosti življenj znotraj manjše vaške skupnosti, kjer se vse zdi na dlani, pa vendar skrivnost rojeva nove skrivnosti.

In The End (Koniec)

Metaphysical and blasphemous novel about the tragedy of war that never meets a clean end with a peace treaty. The war goes on, residing within its victims who carry it from one generation to the next. Malwina, an exceptionally sensitive girl, experiences her grandmother’s wartime memories in her dreams. This makes her exist in two parallel realities at once: the 1940s Eastern borderlands and Siberia along the 1990s Poland. Those realities seep and bleed through one another, making Malwina a catcher of her survivor grandmother’s dreams, or perhaps a dybbuk who gives voice to the dead. To Malwina, the war persists, haunting her day and night alike. Poignant and piercing, Koniec is an impressively well-crafted prose.
