La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community.

Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.

Chlapec s rybí hlavou

Chlapec s rybí hlavou je lyrickým ponorem do bezejmenného českého maloměsta, skrznaskrz šedošedého, ubíjejícího ve své každodennosti a vyčpělých ideologiích. To vše velmi ostře vnímá protagonistka příběhu, která se do svého rodiště po letech vrací, aby se rozloučila s tragicky ztraceným přítelem z dětství.

Pod zdánlivou fádností městských budov číhají temné a bytostně lidské momentky, uchopené specifickým a stylisticky výjimečným jazykem. V okolních lesích však cosi rozkvétá a pod hladinou řeky se odehrává milostný příběh 21. století, podaný bez patosu a stylizujících stereotypů.
