Meduze žive zauvek dok ih ne uhvate

Sara je tek napunila devetnaest godina i, zbog potisnute traume iz prošlosti, oseća rastući strah da će te godine umreti. Iz tog razloga, ono što bi trebalo da bude najbezbrižnije leto u životu, između srednje škole i fakulteta, ona provodi u senci anksioznosti. Izlazi sa društvom po alternativnim klubovima, pokušava da se pomiri sa bivšim dečkom Viktorom, puno pije i želi da je svi primete iako je suštinski povučena. Sve se menja nakon što Sara u mračnoj prostoriji kluba ima prvo snoviđenje u kom trauma iz prošlosti oživi - ponovo se susreće sa devetnaestogodišnjom, sestrom od tetke, Larom. Sara se budi sledećeg jutra sa trnjenjem u ruci, ono se širi i Sara otkriva da ima neimenovanu bolest, s kojom će živeti normalno, ali će je zauvek pratiti. Sara, dobijajući prvu naznaku da je njen strah od smrti opravdan, počinje panično da se bavi analiziranjem tog pojma, svog tela kao nečega što je krhko i prolazno, i kroz ta razmišljanja ubrzano odrasta. Kreće na pripreme za slikarstvo gde upoznaje Tisu i Balšu, njih dvoje su ekscentrični i oboje su se u prošlosti susreli sa smrću, i jedan i drugi imaju zakopane traume. Sara u Tisi pronalazi uzor, a u Balšu se zaljubljuje. Kroz odnos sa njima Sara se suočava sa svojom sadašnjošću, budućnošću i prošlošću - porodičnom tragedijom, koja joj je obeležila celo odrastanje, smrt njene sestre od tetke Lare.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.

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.
