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)

El hielo de los suyos

Estamos en el remoto pueblo de Nome, en Alaska, y corre el año 1921. Ada Blackjack, joven iñupiat, decide dejar en un hospicio a su hijo Bennett, enfermo de tuberculosis, hasta que encuentre la forma de mantenerlo. Pronto una oportunidad le cae del cielo: un barco proveniente de Seattle. En él van cuatro exploradores con ansia de aventuras y fantasías coloniales, también la gata Vic. Se dirigen a la isla de Wrangell —el último refugio de los mamuts— para anexionar el territorio a la confederación británica; están buscando a una iñupiat que cocine y cosa para ellos durante la travesía. Así es como Ada, desoyendo los augurios del chamán, se embarca en una expedición ártica. Pocos meses después todos los exploradores habrán muerto y Ada tendrá que sobrevivir sola en Wrangell con la única compañía de Vic. Para conseguirlo deberá parecerse al Gran Norte y reapropiarse de su identidad de mujer iñupiat, aplastada por años de colonialismo. Durante su transformación se enfrentará a las profundidades del hielo y de sí misma; al hambre; a la muerte de Dios; a Nanuq, el oso; así como a la posibilidad de no volver a Nome cuando llegue el barco de rescate. ¿De qué le servirá salvar a su hijo si el orden colonial nunca le dejará florecer? ¿Podrá ser ella ser buena madre si con el regreso se arriesga a la servidumbre? Su regreso final es para que Bennett conozca la ternura y el hielo de los suyos. «A veces hay que ir hasta el corazón del hielo para encontrar el fuego de la propia vida: una aventura colosal, íntima y universal, humana y más que humana, una oda a la descolonización y a la fuerza propia. La de una mujer. La de la Tierra misma». GABRIELA CABEZÓN CÁMARA «Sensacional por un montón de razones: la elección de un personaje tan significativo en el momento presente; el trabajo con los límites, las fronteras de género, clase, raza, especie; la violencia contra el cuerpo y las culturas; la delgada línea que separa la aventura y el descubrimiento, de la agresión colonialista; la relación entre conocimiento y dinero… Un libro, a la vez, clásico y extraño».

Невидими

Невидими е роман за неприемането на различните, в който деца съчиняват родителите си. Млада жена, отраснала в Дом за изоставени деца, се опитва да превъзмогне травмите от детството си. След поредица от раздели среща Дара – изоставено дете, в което разпознава себе си като малка. Привързва се към нея и решава на всяка цена да намери начин да й подари живота, който тя самата никога не е имала. Това е роман за хората в периферията на обществото. Различни сюжетни линии се преплитат, за да разкажат една обща история: на невидимостта.
