Srpny

Kam až jsme schopni kvůli tomu druhému zajít? Daniela vyrůstá v rodině, kde ji místo lidí objímají úzkosti. Ty přicházejí s podivnou pravidelností — každý srpen. Slunečné dny pro ni nejsou příjemné, nýbrž bolestivé. Když pak na univerzitě potká Štěpána, myslí si, že svým nepříjemným létům konečně unikne. Netuší však, že téhle minulosti se utéct nedá. Jakub Stanjura v románu originálním způsobem otevírá závažné téma gaslightingu — zvláštní formy manipulace, která v oběti vyvolává pochybnosti o vlastní racionalitě, paměti i celkovém vnímání reality.

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.

Grondwerk

Grondwerk [Groundwork] (2025) explores climate change, collective action and attempts to make the world habitable in poetic and sensory language. In the novel, a naked mole-rat is sent on a mission from her colony in the Horn of Africa to a square in Brussels. Waiting for a briefing that fails to arrive, she observes the curious ways of the homo sapiens and starts digging tunnels in Brussels’ underbelly. As sinkholes grow all over the city – fragmenting the infrastructure of the political heart of Europe – a meeting and growing friendship with a climate activist produces an unexpected twist. Grondwerk was shortlisted for the Boekenbon Literatuurprijs and very positively reviewed in the Belgian and Dutch press.
