Narušení děje

Literatura a život mají společného jmenovatele: příběh. Píšou se sedmdesátá léta a William „Mole Man“ Lyttle vykope v tunelu pod svým domem větu, která nezvratně ovlivní chod světa. „Naše životy už nám nepřipadají jako příběhy.“ Protagonistkou autofikčního románu je třiatřicetiletá Emma, která se snaží porozumět svým českým kořenům, vyrovnat se se smrtí matky a najít odpovědi na otázky okolo zmizení své partnerky. Historie okolo ní neplyne, naopak se hromadí a tříští. Mezi pozůstatky se katastroficky zvedá vodní hladina a sílí požáry. Emma se jimi prodírá ve snaze poodejít od lásky, ve které se vítězí a prohrává. V jejím vyprávění docházíme na konec společně či každý po svém, příběh zůstává. Stejně jako otázka, zda vyprávění může člověku pomoci vyrovnat se s tragickými událostmi.

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.

І якщо всі забудуть

«І якщо всі забудуть» — це історія про ідентичність, чужість і нерозуміння, перший роман Сельми Скендерович, лауреатки фестивалю молодої літератури “Urška Festival” 2020. «І якщо всі забудуть» — це роман дорослішання та пошуку ідентичності, який продовжує питання, що їх авторка ставила в дебютній збірці короткої прози «Чому мовчиш, Єво?». Першоосібна інтимна розповідь молодої студентки про історію класового сорому, наслідків сімейного насильства, досвіду відчуження та проблем з ідентичністю. Як жити, коли ти чужий і «тут», і «вдома»?
