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.“

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.

Sve dobre barbike

“Sve dobre barbike” je roman o Vanji, milenijalki koja puni trideset godina i shvata da u njenom životu ništa nije kako je mislila da će biti. Nije postala poznata umetnica, već je scenaristkinja jeftinih sapunica, nema decu, nije u ljubavnoj vezi, anksiozna je preko svake mere i odnosi sa članovima porodice joj nisu baš najbolji. Kada joj se na vratima stana pojavi bivša devojka sa bebom, Vanja je uprkos činjenici da joj je Svetlana slomila srce, pušta da ostane kod nje neko vreme. To je navede da preispita svoj život. Rastrzana između želje da radi ono što voli i uspe da preživi u Beogradu danas, Vanja shvata da mora nešto da promeni. Ishitreno daje otkaz na sapunici koju piše, a istovremeno je gazda izbacuje iz stana da bi uselio bračni par iz Rusije od koga može da dobije mnogo veću kiriju. Svetlana odlazi, iznova je napušta, a Vanja ostaje sama i odjednom se oseća kao da je iznova devojčica koja ne može da se brine o sebi. Dok pakuje stvari, slučajno prospe ključalu vodu po svojoj nozi i napravi ozbiljnu opekotinu. A onda se zapita - da li je zaista bilo slučajno? Ne znajući šta da radi, Vanja se vraća da živi kod majke, u mali grad nadomak Beograda, a tamo je čeka sve ono od čega je pobegla.

De beesten

‘Ik wil niet veel zeggen, maar volgens mij ging het al mis met Tom Keller toen die twee ooms hem ’s nachts meenamen naar het bos en hem dingen lieten doen die een jongen van negen nog lang niet zou moeten doen.’ Zo begint De beesten, het romandebuut van Gijs Wilbrink. Het speelt zich af in de Achterhoek, te midden van motoren, stropers, nertsenfokkerijen en handeltjes die het daglicht niet kunnen verdragen. In dit mystieke grensland vol geheimen groeit Tom Keller op, jongste telg van de beruchtste familie van de streek, en gezegend met een van God gegeven talent voor de motocross. Als hij jaren later plotseling verdwijnt, komt zijn opstandige dochter terug naar haar geboortegrond om hem te zoeken, met een dramatische familiereünie tot gevolg.
