Żywopłoty (The Hedges)

“Debiut Karpińskiej to opowiadania pisane Gombrowiczem, ale fajniejsze, bo o ludziach z naszych ulic” Olga Hund

Opis okładkowy:
Żywopłoty to historia człowieka, którego tożsamość zbudowana jest na narracji – istnieje tylko wtedy, gdy opowiada, dlatego jego dzieje rozpisane są niczym dzieje świata, który on szczelnie wypełnia.

Żywopłoty – z ich odrealnieniem, a jednocześnie koncentrancją na zwykłych, prostych codziennych sprawach – układają się w rodzaj baśni. To baśń o tym, co w życiu najważniejsze.

Poszczególne mikrohistorie można poznawać osobno i przy każdej na nowo odkrywać perspektywy i wymiary człowieczeństwa. Czyta się je – jak utwory najlepszych autorów czeskich, takich jak Pavel czy Hrabal – jak rzecz niewymuszoną, trochę spoza literackiego świata, nieosadzoną w konkretnej rzeczywistości i czasie.

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.
