La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community.

Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.

Tři!

Experimentální román Tři! rozvíjí zkušenost terapeutického sezení, ve kterém se autobiografické motivy prolínají s jazykovou hrou, a do kterého úmyslně vstupuje ta, která se vyprávěním snaží znovu vynalézt sebe sama. Komentáře terapeuta motivují cestu tohoto pátrání po identitě, vedoucího stále hlouběji, až na hranici disociace. Muž a žena v jedné osobě, ale i muž a žena vedle sebe, usilují o splynutí, a vedou tak otevřenou polemiku s autenticitou, rodem i narací.

„Možná to bylo v babiččině spíži, když jsem si prohlížela sklenici s kečupem, na kterém bylo na bílém podkladě napsáno modře: jemný. Možná to byla jen ta schopnost všímat si detailů.“
Vzpomínky odhalované ve snaze pojmenovat jedno dospívání odráží i prostou zkušenost sídliště, chudoby, ale i dětství v druhé polovině devadesátých let na malém městě, či následný přechod do Prahy na studium filosofie, která je vším jiným než konejšivou utěšitelkou.

„Kdo ztrácí kontakt s hmotou, přijde nakonec o všechno.“
