Meine Mutter hat Blumen gezüchtet (Uslovi nisu bitni)

Ljiljana D. Ćuk’s short prose dives into the depths of human emotion, exploring a strong sense of existential despair. With a direct and uncompromising style, Ćuk reveals the struggle to make peace with a world that feels broken, where every part of reality comes with an unsettling sense of disgust. Her writing gives readers a raw and intense experience, confronting the challenge of finding meaning in a universe that seems indifferent.

"The short prose of Ljiljana D. Ćuk is not only exquisite literature, which it undoubtedly is, but also an expression of general despair, the torment of trying to come to terms with anything that exists, as everything existing is mostly seen and experienced as repulsive in itself." (Srdjan Srdić)

Żywopłoty (The Hedges)

“Debiut Karpińskiej to opowiadania pisane Gombrowiczem, ale fajniejsze, bo o ludziach z naszych ulic” Olga Hund

Opis okładkowy:
Żywopłoty to historia człowieka, którego tożsamość zbudowana jest na narracji – istnieje tylko wtedy, gdy opowiada, dlatego jego dzieje rozpisane są niczym dzieje świata, który on szczelnie wypełnia.

Żywopłoty – z ich odrealnieniem, a jednocześnie koncentrancją na zwykłych, prostych codziennych sprawach – układają się w rodzaj baśni. To baśń o tym, co w życiu najważniejsze.

Poszczególne mikrohistorie można poznawać osobno i przy każdej na nowo odkrywać perspektywy i wymiary człowieczeństwa. Czyta się je – jak utwory najlepszych autorów czeskich, takich jak Pavel czy Hrabal – jak rzecz niewymuszoną, trochę spoza literackiego świata, nieosadzoną w konkretnej rzeczywistości i czasie.

Lotosovi cvetovi koji se zatvaraju (kada se u njih uđe) (Put percepcionera)

„U ruci držite roman koji obiluje licima koja su delimično nestala, delimično (ne)stvarna, na marginama istinitosti.

U hostelu Preko granice moguće je veđto spojeno i ujedinjeno sa nemogućim, ipak sve je izuzetno životno i materijalno, neknjiško. Lekićeva jezička izbrušenost i detaljistički pristup rubnim emocionalnim stanjima navodi preko granice očekivanja.“
