Giorni come strani sintomi

Sisifo vaga per l’inferno spingendo una sedia a rotelle vuota e non sa di preciso che cosa ci faccia lì, eccetto che deve passare a prendere sua figlia – affetta da molteplici disabilità – dal centro diurno. Una missione che fallisce di continuo, e al termine della quale ritorna delusa nel fatiscente appartamento al piano terra di uno stravagante condominio. Quando la sua padrona di casa, apparentemente dal nulla, si mette a conversare con lei, Sisifo inizia di colpo a ricordare. Giorni come strani sintomi è una lotta contro il tedio, un’indagine sui confini della maternità, della speranza e della disperazione, della vita e della morte.

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)
