Ćrtice
Ćrtice so roman o Miji in njeni družini, ki se ji je po osamosvojitvi Slovenije zgodil t. i. izbris. Izbris prebivalcev je bil eden najtemnejših trenutkov v sodobni slovenski zgodovini: leta 1992 je bilo več kot 25.000 ljudi – večinoma nekdanjih državljanov drugih jugoslovanskih republik – nezakonito izbrisanih iz registra stalnih prebivalcev. Čez noč so izgubili pravni status, osebne dokumente in temeljne človekove pravice, s čimer so postali nevidni v lastni državi.
Roman razpira tišino okoli te travme – o njej ne govori ne družina ne družba. Mijina zgodba ponuja intimen vpogled v drugo, manj slovesno plat slovenske osamosvojitve in razpada Jugoslavije. S prefinjenim humorjem in tankočutnim pripovednim glasom avtorica razkriva, kako se družbene in politične spremembe zrcalijo v vsakdanjem življenju posameznika. Slovenska literatura s tem romanom prvič dobi obravnavo izbrisa skozi perspektivo otroka – deklice, ki sprva ne razume pomena državljanstva, mej in identitete, a skozi odraščanje vse bolj dojema, zakaj je pomembno, da imaš “dovolj črtic” na zadnji črki svojega priimka.

Wyrok
Two scoundrels were ordered to execute a snitch. Wandering through the mountains and villages, they are hunted by their past. A dreamlike parable set in a brutal world with characters grasped by their own fear.

Nie wszyscy pójdziemy do raju
W jednej ręce puszka z jasnym pełnym, w drugiej różaniec, w ustach papieros, w radiu Aerosmith. Trzy dziewczyny, które czują coś do siebie, jadą rozpadającym się oplem przez Polskę powiatową. Jedna opowiada pozostałym o swoim życiu: o pierwszej szkole, pierwszej przyjaźni i pierwszej miłości. Duchologiczna wyprawa do lat dziewięćdziesiątych i dwutysięcznych, którą podejmuje narratorka tej powieści drogi, okazuje się w istocie przenikliwą analizą klasowo-płciowej tożsamości i próbą opisu homoerotycznego pragnienia: najpierw całkowicie tłumionego przez heteronormę, potem wyrażanego w drobnych gestach i pocałunkach, wreszcie – jawnie wypowiedzianego w samochodowej podróży. Jej geograficznym celem jest Radom, ale egzystencjalnym – transgresja, afirmacja i ekstatyczne doświadczenie wolności.

Viața e a mea (This Life is Mine)
Roman scris sub formă de policier, Viaţa e a mea descrie relaţiile dintre trei femei de provenienţă socială diferită: Angela Pop, galeristă (şi proaspătă mamă), Greta Roth, poliţist la Omucideri şi Carla [Razia], lucrătoare sexuală. Suferind de depresie postnatală, Angela resimte acut nevoia de control, nevoie care ia forma, finalmente, a unei instalaţii pe care protagonista o concepe, cu titlul „Viaţa e a mea”, dedicată fiicei sale, Eliza, şi surorii sale, Raisa. În planul ei intră Carla, pe care o întâlneşte întâmplător în una dintre ieşirile în oraş, şi un fost coleg de facultate, jurnalistul Lazăr Mitrea. Carla este, însă, şi iubita – pentru o scurtă perioadă de timp – a Gretei, poliţista desemnată să investigheze moartea suspectă a Angelei Pop.
Diversele linii narative se ţes în jurul acestei dileme: este moartea Angelei omucidere sau sinucidere? Dacă este crimă, cine este vinovatul? Sunt mai mulţi complici? Suspecţii cazului devin toţi apropiaţii „victimei”. Suspiciunea şi tensiunea, narativă şi între personaje, se menţine până la final, când aflăm că Angela Pop instrumentase toate relaţiile pentru a-şi duce la bun sfârşit planul: instalaţia-manifest. Dorinţa de sinucidere şi semnele degradării psihice ale personajului sunt presărate de-a lungul romanului, însă ele nu duc direct la concluzia că aceasta ar fi fost opţiunea Angelei, aşa încât dilema crimă-sinucidere se menţine până la finalul cărţii.
Viaţa e a mea deconstruieşte stereotipurile şi prejudecăţi legate de familie, de gen, de sexualitate sau de tulburări psihice. Romanul se încheie, astfel, cu un manifest care invită la reflecţie, acceptare, înţelegere şi empatie.

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.

De bananengeneratie: over het dubbelleven van Chinese Nederlanders van nu
Pete Wu is een banaan. Althans, zo noemt zijn moeder hem liefkozend: ‘geel van buiten en wit vanbinnen’. Hij is een tweede generatie Chinese Nederlander, die midden in de Nederlandse samenleving staat. Toch wordt Pete ongewild herinnerd aan zijn anders-zijn. Door mensen die hem vragen waar hij nou écht vandaan komt. Of anders wel door de gemiddelde carnavalshit, Meneer Cheung uit Ik hou van Holland, of Gordon: ‘Wat ga je zingen? Nummer 39 met rijst?’ In De bananengeneratie gaat Pete in gesprek met ‘mede bananen’ die net als hij worstelen met hun Chinese Nederlanderschap. Hij praat met hen over generatieclashes, daten, discriminatie en eenzaamheid. En over het gevecht om jezelf te mogen zijn – bevrijd van clichés.
