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.

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)

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.
