Bintje

De rijzige appartementsblokken van de provinciestad, jaren negentig. Bintje groeit op in een verscheurd gezin. Haar Congolese vader is een fanatiek religieuze man, een aan lagerwal geraakte schrijver die geen werk vindt en overdag aan zijn memoires werkt. Hoe gedesillusioneerder hij raakt, hoe meer hij naar de fles grijpt en hoe agressiever hij thuis wordt. Desondanks adoreert Bintje haar vader en probeert ze hem op het juiste pad te houden. Als het echter duidelijk wordt dat hij niet te redden valt, verbreekt ze alle contact. Dertig jaar later is Bintje in hetzelfde bedje ziek. Gescheiden en vervreemd van haar zoon, woont ze nog altijd in de intussen verloederde blokken en worstelt ze met haar eigen verslavingen. Haar job als leerkracht biedt enige houvast, tot ze ook op school de controle verliest en wordt gedwongen haar jeugdtrauma’s onder ogen te zien.

Ćrtice

Ćrtice so roman o Miji in njeni družini, ki se ji je po osamosvojitvi Slovenije zgodil t. i. izbris. Izbris prebivalcev je bil eden najtemnejših trenutkov v sodobni slovenski zgodovini: leta 1992 je bilo več kot 25.000 ljudi – večinoma nekdanjih državljanov drugih jugoslovanskih republik – nezakonito izbrisanih iz registra stalnih prebivalcev. Čez noč so izgubili pravni status, osebne dokumente in temeljne človekove pravice, s čimer so postali nevidni v lastni državi. Roman razpira tišino okoli te travme – o njej ne govori ne družina ne družba. Mijina zgodba ponuja intimen vpogled v drugo, manj slovesno plat slovenske osamosvojitve in razpada Jugoslavije. S prefinjenim humorjem in tankočutnim pripovednim glasom avtorica razkriva, kako se družbene in politične spremembe zrcalijo v vsakdanjem življenju posameznika. Slovenska literatura s tem romanom prvič dobi obravnavo izbrisa skozi perspektivo otroka – deklice, ki sprva ne razume pomena državljanstva, mej in identitete, a skozi odraščanje vse bolj dojema, zakaj je pomembno, da imaš “dovolj črtic” na zadnji črki svojega priimka.
