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.

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.
