Nie wszyscy pójdziemy do raju

“Not All of Us Will Go to Paradise” is an anti-road-trip and anti-coming-of-age novel. With effortless audacity and a keen awareness of its own genre boundaries, it portrays coming out as a journey—through memory, shame, class, religion, and the body. The narrator returns to the 1990s and early 2000s: to the world of VHS tapes and 00’s music, yet this cultural veneer crumbles beneath the weight of individual experience. With remarkable acuity, Górska reconstructs the landscape of Poland's post-transformation years, when the promise of a better life shaped both public imagination and private longing. It is a meditation on language itself: on how much it makes possible, how much it withholds, how deeply it can wound, and how ecstatically it can liberate. Górska is not writing a manifesto. She is writing about experience: sensual, painful, amusing, and shameful—and about a language that trembles, just as the body trembles. “Not All of Us Will Go to Paradise” is a hauntological expedition into the recent past, and a brilliant narrative reminding us that stepping out of the shadows does not always mean immediate salvation.

Precum animalele

În Precum animalele, o femeie analizează ce i s-a întâmplat după nașterea primului copil – o experiență atât de sumbră, încât femeia se revoltă împotriva limbajului și a semnificației. Își caută alinarea în lumea animalelor, mituri antice, fotografii, e-mailuri, chiar și în listele de cumpărături din timpul sarcinii. Cum devii mamă la mult timp după ce ai dat naștere copilului tău? Și cum lipești la loc crâmpeiele unei persoane, după ce s-a năruit? „O poveste tulburătoare, care îl pune pe gânduri pe cititor. O splendidă deznădejde.” – NRC Handelsblad ***** „Lieselot Mariën debutează cu un roman foarte puternic și crud despre maternitate. Precum animalele e atât raportul unei căutări existențiale, cât și o operă sclipitoare a limbajului.” – De Tijd
