Se gli animali

In Se gli animali una donna cerca di capire cosa le è accaduto dopo la nascita del primo figlio, un’esperienza così buia che la fa scontrare con la lingua e il significato delle parole. Il regno animale, miti antichi, foto, mail e persino liste della spesa stilate durante la gravidanza: è in loro che la donna cerca un appiglio. Come si diventa, anche tempo dopo aver messo al mondo il proprio figlio, comunque madri? E come si riuniscono i cocci di un essere umano, dopo che è andato in frantumi?

Щом животните

В „Щом животните” една жена изследва връхлитащото я след раждането на първото ѝ дете – изживяване толкова мрачно, че тя се съпротивлява на езика и смисъла. Търси опора в животинското царство, в старите митове, в снимки, имейли и дори в списъците си за пазаруване от периода около раждането. Как се превръщаш, дълго след като детето ти е дошло на този свят, в майка? И как съединяваш отново отломките от един човек, който се е разпаднал? Разтърсващ разказ, който опипом кара читателя да се замисли. Великолепно отчаяние. — в-к „НРК ханделсблат” Лизелот Мариен дебютира с изключително силен и нищо неподминаващ роман за майчинството. „Щом животните” е едновременно протокол от екзистенциално търсене и творба с блестяща стилистика. — в-к „Тейд”

Nie wszyscy pójdziemy do raju

“Not All of Us Will Go to Paradise” is an anti-road-trip and anti-coming-of-age novel. With effortless audacity and a keen awareness of its own genre boundaries, it portrays coming out as a journey—through memory, shame, class, religion, and the body. The narrator returns to the 1990s and early 2000s: to the world of VHS tapes and 00’s music, yet this cultural veneer crumbles beneath the weight of individual experience. With remarkable acuity, Górska reconstructs the landscape of Poland's post-transformation years, when the promise of a better life shaped both public imagination and private longing. It is a meditation on language itself: on how much it makes possible, how much it withholds, how deeply it can wound, and how ecstatically it can liberate. Górska is not writing a manifesto. She is writing about experience: sensual, painful, amusing, and shameful—and about a language that trembles, just as the body trembles. “Not All of Us Will Go to Paradise” is a hauntological expedition into the recent past, and a brilliant narrative reminding us that stepping out of the shadows does not always mean immediate salvation.

Pornorama

Questa storia è una ragnatela di fili spezzati: se si riesce ad afferrarne uno, il resto scivola via. È la storia di un'inquietante serie di morti nel mondo del porno tra Roma, Milano e Torino, ma è anche la storia dell'indagine condotta dall'ispettore capo Vittoria De Feo. È la storia di come una coppia di ventenni, Bet e Teo, sia finita su quella stessa pista in cerca di un colpo per rilanciare il proprio blog, ed è la storia del tentativo di un giornalista di gossip di fare lo scoop della vita. Attorno alle loro complicate ricerche si muove un coro surreale di personaggi grotteschi: chirurghi che si arricchiscono commerciando sex toy modellati sull'anatomia delle pornostar morte, avvocati luciferini che tengono i tirocinanti al guinzaglio, analisti forensi che tentano di sfondare come youtuber, ex attori di programmi per bambini caduti in disgrazia, psichiatri che si travestono da avocado durante le sedute, influencer verbose strafatte di cocaina, untuosi manager di attrici hard. Il tutto accompagnato e condito da droghe sintetiche e contratti di sottomissione, mani mozzate e crostate al limone, conigli domestici e programmi trash, magazzini Ikea e set pornografici. Dietro la detection più pura si dipanano coniugazioni di una pornografia dell’essere per la quale, oramai, non esiste più nulla di osceno.
