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)

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.“
