Il ghiaccio dei suoi
Villaggio di Nome, Alaska, 1921. Ada Blackjack, una giovane iñupiat, decide di affidare a un ospizio suo figlio Bennett, malato di tubercolosi, finché non troverà il modo di mantenerlo. Un’occasione le capita per caso: una nave proveniente da Seattle. A bordo ci sono quattro esploratori assetati di avventure e impregnati di fantasie coloniali, e insieme a loro la gatta Vic. Sono diretti all’isola di Wrangell – l’ultimo rifugio dei mammut – per annettere il territorio alla Confederazione Britannica. Prima di partire cercano una donna iñupiat che cucini e cucia per loro durante la traversata. È così che Ada, ignorando i presagi dello sciamano, si imbarca in una spedizione artica. Pochi mesi dopo tutti gli esploratori saranno morti e Ada dovrà sopravvivere da sola a Wrangell con l’unica compagnia di Vic. Per riuscirci dovrà assomigliare al Grande Nord e riappropriarsi della sua identità di donna iñupiat, sepolta da anni di colonialismo. Durante questa trasformazione affrontarerà le profondità del ghiaccio e di se stessa, la fame, la morte di Dio, l’orso – Nanuq –,e infine la possibilità di non tornare a Nome quando arriverà una nave in soccorso. A cosa le servirà salvare suo figlio se l’ordine coloniale non le permetterà mai di realizzarsi? Potrà essere una buona madre se tornando rischia la servitù? Il suo ritorno finale serve a far conoscere a Bennett la tenerezza e il ghiaccio della sua gente.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)
There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.

Chlapec s rybí hlavou
Chlapec s rybí hlavou je lyrickým ponorem do bezejmenného českého maloměsta, skrznaskrz šedošedého, ubíjejícího ve své každodennosti a vyčpělých ideologiích. To vše velmi ostře vnímá protagonistka příběhu, která se do svého rodiště po letech vrací, aby se rozloučila s tragicky ztraceným přítelem z dětství.
Pod zdánlivou fádností městských budov číhají temné a bytostně lidské momentky, uchopené specifickým a stylisticky výjimečným jazykem. V okolních lesích však cosi rozkvétá a pod hladinou řeky se odehrává milostný příběh 21. století, podaný bez patosu a stylizujících stereotypů.

La sentenza
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.
