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)

I onda opet, iz početka

Centralni lik novog romana Filipa Grujića je pravi „junak našeg doba“, mladić na prelasku iz dvadesetih (kada se sve prašta i ništa nije konačno) u tridesete (kada sve postaje obavezujuće i ozbiljno), upravo izašao iz duge veze s nejasnom idejom šta želi od života.

Njegova svakodnevica rastrzana između porodice (razvedeni otac i majka, njihovi novi partneri i vremešni, ali vrlo živopisni roditelji), prijatelja, devojaka i obaveza, komične epizode, snažan autoironijski ton i bolno iskrena promišljanja o tome šta uopšte znači biti srećan u trećoj deceniji XXI veka, sve su to delovi kompleksne ali majstorski složene literarne slagalice koju bez preterivanja možemo nazvati prvim pravim, ozbiljnim milenijalskim romanom u srpskoj književnosti.

Filip Grujić posle dva zapažena romana kojima je nagovestio veliki književni talenat ovim delom sazreva u jednog od najboljih pripovedača koje naša književnost ima, prestaje da bude samo njena svetla budućnost i postaje važna i nezaobilazna sadašnjost.

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.

Imaginarni svetovi Edgarja Kaosa

Imaginarni svetovi Edgarja Kaosa so prvi del fantazijske pustolovščine o človeškem fantu Edgarju, ki se je znajde v primežu nenavadnih čarobnih bitij in nepoznanih pošasti.

Ob koncu življenja Smrt v vsakem živem bitju združi dve ločeni prvini; telo in čarobno dušo. Toda ravnovesje med življenjem in smrtjo v Inkremateri zmoti nenaden vzpon tistih, ki so sposobni sami nasilno ločevati magične duše in njihova telesa. S tem želijo ustvariti vojsko razdušenih pošasti, ki bodo popolnoma podvržene njihovi volji. Smrt, prestrašena, da bo zaradi porušenega ravnovesja kmalu prenehala obstajati, spozna, da je njena edina možnost za obstanek skleniti pakt s tistim, katerega telo ne poseduje magične duše – s človeškim fantom.

Brez spomina na svojo preteklost se petnajstletni deček znajde v primežu nenavadnih čarobnih bitij in nepoznanih pošasti. Po nenavadnem spletu usode, ko se znajde povezan z edino zmajsko dušo Inkrematere, se mora nepomembni in negotovi človeški fant soočiti z dejstvom, da je edini, ki lahko premaga skupne sovražnike vseh živih čarobnih bitij. Poln nezaupanja se znajde v primežu zla, kjer se kmalu začne izgubljati v labirintu iluzij, laži, prevar in spletk.
