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.

Всичката любов от една изгоряла снимка

​„Всичката любов от една изгоряла снимка“ насочва прожектора към връзката между три поколения жени, които разбират света по начини, почти несъвместими един с друг. ​Семейството и неговото крехко равновесие са разтърсени от внезапното хоспитализиране на най-възрастната от тях. Парализиращите страхове придобиват очертания с приближаването на неизбежната смърт. Техните защитни механизми – и най-вече начините, по които всяка паразитира в живота на другата в името на дълга и майчината любов – излизат на повърхността. Лея, която се намира по средата (на дистанцията), е тази, която улавя промените, тази, която пресява реалността (за себе си), старае се да я запише и да ѝ придаде смисъл; тази, която постоянно договаря своята идентичност в опит да открие коя остава тя извън ролите на дъщеря и майка, и да намери път към (един) пристан.

Lotosovi cvetovi koji se zatvaraju (kada se u njih uđe) (Put percepcionera)

„U ruci držite roman koji obiluje licima koja su delimično nestala, delimično (ne)stvarna, na marginama istinitosti. U hostelu Preko granice moguće je veđto spojeno i ujedinjeno sa nemogućim, ipak sve je izuzetno životno i materijalno, neknjiško. Lekićeva jezička izbrušenost i detaljistički pristup rubnim emocionalnim stanjima navodi preko granice očekivanja.“

Wyrok

Two scoundrels were ordered to execute a snitch. Wandering through the mountains and villages, they are hunted by their past. A dreamlike parable set in a brutal world with characters grasped by their own fear.
