La cercacose: 44 (in)consueti oggetti da vicino e lontano
Come suggerisce il sottotitolo, il libro La cercacose contiene storie su 44 oggetti da vicino e lontano. La curiosa e variegata selezione, ordinata per temi, comprende sorprendenti chicche da tutto il mondo: stivali che arrivano dal Bhutan, mattonelle dai marciapiedi di Barcellona disegnate da Gaudí, bicchieri da vino dai Paesi Baschi, una spilla a forma di cuore da Sarajevo, espradrillas dai Pirenei, scarabei dall’antico Egitto, contenitori della spazzatura da New York, un pezzo del telo arancione proveniente dai The Floating Piers sul lago d’Iseo, un tintinnante drago sloveno, una mappa di Berlino Est e molti altri. Raccontando le storie di oggetti concreti, Ekaterina Petrova in realtà racconta anche dei luoghi da dove provengono – Küstendorf е Kathmandu, Lubiana e Louisiana, Belvedere e Bilbao, Selçuk e Central park – ponendoli contemporaneamente in un più ampio contesto linguistico, storico, antropologico e geografico. Astuta miscela fra diari di viaggio, saggi e racconti, i testi sono attentamente documentati e intessuti di aneddoti curiosi, ma inframmezzati dallo sguardo soggettivo dell’autrice, così come dalla sua personale biografia di viaggiatrice, traduttrice e cercacose. Elaborato artisticamente dall’occhio estetico di Lyuba Haleva, una delle più eminenti illustratrici bulgare contemporanee, l’impostazione grafica del libro è superba e con umorismo coglie l’anima e l’umore delle storie. In questo modo anche il libro stesso diventa un bell’oggetto carico di piacere e gioia, da leggere e rileggere, da avere e regalare.

За Перекопом є земля
Крим. Саме тут минуло дитинство, юність і перше кохання головної героїні роману. Саме тут вона зрозуміла, що є українкою. Ні дідусь-підполковник КДБ, ані російська кров у венах не стали цьому на заваді.
Наче орнамент, у романі переплітаються кримськотатарська культура і українська історія. На сторінках книжки читач зустрінеться з кримськими татарами, караїмами, українцями, росіянами, німцями, євреями, греками, вірменами Криму, крок за кроком відкриватиме шафи з родинними скелетами. Разом з головною героїнею та її подругою Аліє пройде шлях від їхнього дитинства – з 1990-х – аж до окупації півострова Росією в 2014-му, з екскурсами в давнішу історію Криму.
«За Перекопом є земля» — це спроба відкрити материк для півострова, а півострів для материка з незвичного ракурсу. Адже і там, і там є земля. Її варто пізнати й повернути їй цілісність.

Grondwerk
Grondwerk [Groundwork] (2025) explores climate change, collective action and attempts to make the world habitable in poetic and sensory language. In the novel, a naked mole-rat is sent on a mission from her colony in the Horn of Africa to a square in Brussels. Waiting for a briefing that fails to arrive, she observes the curious ways of the homo sapiens and starts digging tunnels in Brussels’ underbelly. As sinkholes grow all over the city – fragmenting the infrastructure of the political heart of Europe – a meeting and growing friendship with a climate activist produces an unexpected twist. Grondwerk was shortlisted for the Boekenbon Literatuurprijs and very positively reviewed in the Belgian and Dutch press.

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.
