Meine Mutter hat Blumen gezüchtet (Uslovi nisu bitni)

Ljiljana D. Ćuk’s short prose dives into the depths of human emotion, exploring a strong sense of existential despair. With a direct and uncompromising style, Ćuk reveals the struggle to make peace with a world that feels broken, where every part of reality comes with an unsettling sense of disgust. Her writing gives readers a raw and intense experience, confronting the challenge of finding meaning in a universe that seems indifferent. "The short prose of Ljiljana D. Ćuk is not only exquisite literature, which it undoubtedly is, but also an expression of general despair, the torment of trying to come to terms with anything that exists, as everything existing is mostly seen and experienced as repulsive in itself." (Srdjan Srdić)

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.

За Перекопом є земля

Крим. Саме тут минуло дитинство, юність і перше кохання головної героїні роману. Саме тут вона зрозуміла, що є українкою. Ні дідусь-підполковник КДБ, ані російська кров у венах не стали цьому на заваді. Наче орнамент, у романі переплітаються кримськотатарська культура і українська історія. На сторінках книжки читач зустрінеться з кримськими татарами, караїмами, українцями, росіянами, німцями, євреями, греками, вірменами Криму, крок за кроком відкриватиме шафи з родинними скелетами. Разом з головною героїнею та її подругою Аліє пройде шлях від їхнього дитинства – з 1990-х – аж до окупації півострова Росією в 2014-му, з екскурсами в давнішу історію Криму. «За Перекопом є земля» — це спроба відкрити материк для півострова, а півострів для материка з незвичного ракурсу. Адже і там, і там є земля. Її варто пізнати й повернути їй цілісність.
