Кассандра курить папіроси

У Києві в січні 1918-го майбутнє втрачає певність, а Кассандра втрачає віру у власні пророцтва. Та мало хто усвідомлює глибину катастрофи, що на них чекає. Усю складність становища розуміє Наталя, медсестра Кирилівської лікарні для душевнохворих і донька її пацієнта з дивним ім’ям Кася, з якою Наталі випало шукати дорогу з майже оточеного більшовиками Києва. Наталя пише щоденник, фіксуючи події та описуючи різних мешканців тогочасної столиці: від ексцентричних театралок до солдатів УНР та більшовицьких агітаторів. І в деяких моментах Київ понад сторічної давності може нагадати сучасний. Врешті Наталя стикнеться з одвічною дилемою війни: «Лишитись тут і боротись чи поїхати?».

In The End (Koniec)

Metaphysical and blasphemous novel about the tragedy of war that never meets a clean end with a peace treaty. The war goes on, residing within its victims who carry it from one generation to the next. Malwina, an exceptionally sensitive girl, experiences her grandmother’s wartime memories in her dreams. This makes her exist in two parallel realities at once: the 1940s Eastern borderlands and Siberia along the 1990s Poland. Those realities seep and bleed through one another, making Malwina a catcher of her survivor grandmother’s dreams, or perhaps a dybbuk who gives voice to the dead. To Malwina, the war persists, haunting her day and night alike. Poignant and piercing, Koniec is an impressively well-crafted prose.

Tăcerea vine prima (Silence comes first)

Tăcerea vine prima vorbeşte despre trauma unei familii contemporane şi despre blocajele de comunicare dintre mai multe generații de femei. Atunci când tăcerea se instalează într-o familie, toate comportamentele sunt creatoare de traume. Singura soluție pare să fie depășirea fricii și deschiderea rănilor. Subiectul principal îl reprezintă relația complicată a Dorei, pe de o parte cu mama sa intruzivă și veșnic nemulțumită, pe de altă parte cu fiica adolescentă care începe să-și ceară dreptul la independență. Crescută într-o familie în care femeile și bărbații au fost dintotdeauna într-un raport de forță, copiii au acoperit goluri și dureri, fericirea personală n-a părut necesară, mamele au îmbătrânit urât, iar tații, în tăcere, Dora preferă fantasma realității. Într-un moment de curaj, ea intră într-o relație online cu Toma. Totuși, chiar și după ce ajunge la Braşov, acolo unde locuieşte bărbatul, spaima de a nu fi dezamăgită o face să se întoarcă acasă, fără ca întâlnirea să aibă loc. Când însă, Toma vine în București și o sună, Dora este nevoită să ia o decizie. Nu înainte de a rupe tăcerea şi a da cărţile pe faţă, într-o discuţie cu mama ei. “Silence Comes First" explores the trauma within a contemporary family and the communication barriers between multiple generations of women. When silence takes root in a family, every behavior becomes a source of trauma. The only solution seems to be overcoming fear and confronting old wounds. The central theme is on one hand Dora's complicated relationship with her intrusive and perpetually dissatisfied mother, and on the other the dynamic with her teenage daughter, who is beginning to assert her right to independence. Raised in a family where women and men were always engaged in a power struggle, where children filled voids and covered up pain, Dora searches for an escape. After a childhood where personal happiness seemed unnecessary, where mothers aged poorly, and fathers remained silent, Dora prefers the fantasy over reality. In a moment of courage, she enters an online relationship with Toma. However, even after she travels to Brașov, where Toma lives, her fear of disappointment drives her to return home without meeting him. But when Toma comes to Bucharest and calls her, Dora is forced to make a decision. However, she can only do that after breaking the silence and laying all the cards on the table in a conversation with her mother.

Гемінґвей нічого не знає

Ця книга короткої прози — свідчення солдата про досвід великої війни. Віра на фронті, братерство між військовими, страх і надія, смерть і Любов. Автор пропрацьовує власні травматичні спогади, але текст може стати психотерапією не лише для нього, а й для читачів. Автор говорить про себе, переповідає реальність та сни, але передовсім фіксує життя на межі. Розповідає про людей великої Любові, на яких все й тримається. Тут обʼявляється Господь Окопний, починається Найновіший Завіт, стає опорою українська культура в рюкзаку, а визнані метри воєнної літератури не витримують випробування реальністю. Їм про нас, українців, нічого не відомо. Про себе можемо говорити тільки ми, бо на Східному фронті все змінилось. І Артур Дронь говорить про це відверто і прямо. Як говорять ті, які були на межі. І повернулися.
