Svatá
Život ovdovělé hospodské Aloisie se obrátí vzhůru nohama ve chvíli, kdy se její dceři Kristě zjeví v lese Panna Maria. Třebaže ji krom Kristy nikdo neviděl, zpráva o zjevení se rychle rozkřikne, do zapomenutého kraje začnou proudit zástupy a zadlužená hospoda konečně prosperuje. Krista je stejnou měrou okolím adorována i nenáviděna. Sama Aloisie neví, na kterou stranu se přiklonit. Je její dcera lhářka, nebo vizionářka? A zjevuje se v lese skutečně Matka Boží, nebo něco mnohem děsivějšího? Příběh o lásce, víře a nekonečné vůli vychází ze skutečných událostí, které se odehrály v devatenáctém století na Broumovsku.

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.

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)

Bintje
De rijzige appartementsblokken van de provinciestad, jaren negentig. Bintje groeit op in een verscheurd gezin. Haar Congolese vader is een fanatiek religieuze man, een aan lagerwal geraakte schrijver die geen werk vindt en overdag aan zijn memoires werkt. Hoe gedesillusioneerder hij raakt, hoe meer hij naar de fles grijpt en hoe agressiever hij thuis wordt. Desondanks adoreert Bintje haar vader en probeert ze hem op het juiste pad te houden. Als het echter duidelijk wordt dat hij niet te redden valt, verbreekt ze alle contact.
Dertig jaar later is Bintje in hetzelfde bedje ziek. Gescheiden en vervreemd van haar zoon, woont ze nog altijd in de intussen verloederde blokken en worstelt ze met haar eigen verslavingen. Haar job als leerkracht biedt enige houvast, tot ze ook op school de controle verliest en wordt gedwongen haar jeugdtrauma’s onder ogen te zien.

Dagen als vreemde symptomen
Sisyphus doolt door de hel met een lege rolstoel en weet niet precies wat ze daar te zoeken heeft, behalve dat ze haar dochter, die meervoudig beperkt is, moet ophalen uit het dagcentrum. Een missie die telkens mislukt, waarna ze teleurgesteld terugkeert naar de aftandse benedenwoning van een zonderling appartementencomplex. Wanneer haar hospita schijnbaar uit het niets een praatje met haar aanknoopt, begint ze zich plotseling dingen te herinneren.
Dagen als vreemde symptomen is een gevecht tegen de verveling, een zoektocht naar de grenzen van het moederschap, van hoop en radeloosheid, van leven en dood.
