Невидимі
«Невидимі» –– роман про неприйняття інакшості, у якому діти вигадують своїх батьків. Молода жінка, яка виросла в Дитбудинку, намагається подолати травми дитинства. Після низки розлук вона зустрічає Дару –– покинуту дитину, в якій упізнає маленьку себе. Прив’язується до неї й вирішує, що будь-якою ціною знайде спосіб подарувати їй життя, якого вона сама ніколи не мала. Це роман про людей із периферії суспільства. Різні сюжетні лінії переплітаються, щоб розповісти одну спільну історію: про невидимість.

Di me non sai
Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel.
For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator.
"Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.

Bogomolka
Mia je stara 27 let in vsak dan gleda najslabše na svetu: dela kot moderatorka vsebin in mora cenzurirati najnasilnejše posnetke, ki krožijo po spletu. Odkar je njen bivši fant Ruben umrl, ko ga je v banji stresla elektrika, živi v začaranem krogu nihilizma in očitkov, otopela zaradi službe in zdravil, samo občasno pa jo poživi prijateljstvo z Dennisom in Miriam. Preteklost z Rubenom je arhiv krutih spominov, kakršne so tudi podobe, ki jih mora odstraniti s spleta, a jih ne more izbrisati iz spomina: čustveno izsiljevanje, ko jo obtožuje, da ga požira kot bogomolka, in strah pred tem, da bi ga zapustila. Ko pa naleti na posnetek Sofie, dekleta, ki ji je podobno in ki se vrže z mosta, se Mia zdrzne in poda po njenih stopinjah: sreča njenega fanta Lapa, obetavnega glasbenika, in prijateljico Margot, spremljevalko in plesalko v nočnem klubu, in obema se pusti zapeljati v vrtincu ogledal. Vse dokler se Mia, z Miriam in Margot, ne odloči za alternativo, za sestrski pakt izven okvirjev, ki bo uspel zlomiti lupino njene bolečine.
Bogomolka opisuje pot mlade ženske, ki se zoperstavlja izgubi in samoti ter se upira podedovanemu občutku ženske krivde, da bi se pognala naprej, proti svetlobi prihodnje različice sebe.

Hou je stil
“Een verdwijning van een van ons haalt het nieuws niet, omdat het geen nieuws is. De rest van de wereld denkt niet aan je – niet als ze jouw coke snuiven, niet als ze de kleding dragen die jij maakte, niet als ze je hun land uitzetten.”
Dit is het verhaal over de uit Mexico gevluchte Alex, een teruggetrokken jongen die stage loopt op een Nederlandse universiteit en probeert te redden wat er te redden valt. Om te leven moet hij praten, om te overleven juist niet.
Hou je stil is een meeslepende roman over dichte grenzen en grenzeloze moed, over de kracht van taal en het troebele onderscheid tussen daders en slachtoffers.
Alle personages in dit boek zijn verzonnen. De feiten niet.
Het boek is gebaseerd op jarenlang onderzoek en verhalen van mensen met ervaring met vluchten of uitgezet worden, mensen werkzaam in asielrecht, docenten van verschillende (Mexicaanse) universiteiten, traumapsychologen, mensenrechtenactivisten, journalisten, ondergedoken mensen, en slachtoffers en daders van kartel/bendegeweld. Het verhaal schijnt licht op de impact van (internationale) overheden op individuen alsook op drugs gerelateerd en seksueel geweld. Ook legt dit aangrijpende verhaal de complexe relatie bloot tussen ‘drugslanden’ zoals Mexico en Europa: een continent dat haar grenzen steeds meer optrekt voor asielzoekers en tegelijkertijd een grote cocaïnedoorvoerder en – gebruiker is.

Nevidni
Nevidni je roman o zavračanju drugačnih, v katerem otroci predstavljajo svoje starše. Mlada ženska, odrasla v Domu za osirotele otroke, poskuša premagati svoje travme iz otroštva. Po vrsti ločitev sreča Daro, siroto, v kateri prepozna sebe kot otroka. Naveže se nanjo in se odloči, da bo za vsako ceno našla način, da ji bo omogočila življenje, kakršnega sama nikoli ni bila deležna. Gre za roman o ljudeh z družbenega roba. V njem se prepletajo različne pripovedne linije, ki vse pripovedujejo skupno zgodbo o nevidnosti.
»Roman o ljudeh z družbenega roba, ki vas pusti brez besed.« Georgi Gospodinov, avtor romanov Fizika žalosti in Časovno zaklonišče
»Le malokdo je sposoben brez kančka pretencioznosti poustvariti življenja tistih, ki so izkusili dom za zapuščene otroke, še posebej v času prehoda, njihove nadaljnje usode. Pravzaprav je, bolj splošno gledano, vsak od nas zapuščen otrok, toda tisti, o katerih pripoveduje avtorica, so resnično nevidni na družbenem zemljevidu. Natalija Deleva jim z obrazov odstrani vse klišeje, s katerimi smo jih obtežili. Težka, pomembna, resnično pomembna knjiga.« Marin Bodakov, Kultura
“The narrator in Four Minutes (Невидими) collates excerpts from news articles, listens to her own (internal) voice, to the stories of people she meets on the way, looks into the past, confronts traumas and, pulling the reader out of their comfort zone, asks important questions about our world, about life in exile, about people who are excluded, abandoned, homeless. A beautiful, intricately woven and exciting book.” Wioletta Greg, author of Swallowing Mercury
