Дарът

Каква следа оставяме? На какво сме готови, за да постигнем целта си? Какво бихме пожертвали, за да сме в мир със себе си? Две двойки, чиито пътища не би трябвало да се пресекат – различно социално положение, образование, среда. Общото помежду им – мечтата за дете. Тя ги изправя един срещу друг в най-важната битка в живота им.

Di me non sai

Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel. For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator. "Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.

Nie wszyscy pójdziemy do raju

W jednej ręce puszka z jasnym pełnym, w drugiej różaniec, w ustach papieros, w radiu Aerosmith. Trzy dziewczyny, które czują coś do siebie, jadą rozpadającym się oplem przez Polskę powiatową. Jedna opowiada pozostałym o swoim życiu: o pierwszej szkole, pierwszej przyjaźni i pierwszej miłości. Duchologiczna wyprawa do lat dziewięćdziesiątych i dwutysięcznych, którą podejmuje narratorka tej powieści drogi, okazuje się w istocie przenikliwą analizą klasowo-płciowej tożsamości i próbą opisu homoerotycznego pragnienia: najpierw całkowicie tłumionego przez heteronormę, potem wyrażanego w drobnych gestach i pocałunkach, wreszcie – jawnie wypowiedzianego w samochodowej podróży. Jej geograficznym celem jest Radom, ale egzystencjalnym – transgresja, afirmacja i ekstatyczne doświadczenie wolności.
