Eva Ur Spillrorna
»Det handlar om ett betydande författarskap Romanen Eva ur spillrorna är, för att säga något i kritikersammanhang banalt, den bästa roman jag läst på länge.« Kaj Schueler i Svenska Dagbladet 10/10 dagensbok.comEvas liv är i spillror. Hon lever i den fattiga förorten Troumaron utanför Mauritius huvudstad Port Louis, där hon tidigt fick lära sig att andra ser hennes kropp som en handelsvara. Här har textilfabriken där kvinnorna arbetade lagts ned, och männen försöker återvinna sin auktoritet genom att dricka. Här en evighet från paradisstränderna är de unga utlämnade åt sig själva. Poeten Sad, rebellen Clélio, den ambitiösa Savita: alla bär de på drömmar, och alla vill de rädda Eva men för de fyra vännerna framstår den spiral av våld och hämnd de dragits in i som omöjlig att ta sig ur. Ananda Devis Eva ur spillrorna är en omskakande och dramatisk roman om fyra vänner som berövats såväl barndom som framtid, framberättad på ett språk som är lika sparsmakat som det är vackert. Ananda Devi föddes 1957 på ön Mauritius utanför Afrikas östkust, ett land präglat av sin våldsamma koloniala historia och med en stor mångfald av etniska, kulturella och språkliga identiteter. Devi kommer från en indiskättad familj men skriver huvudsakligen på franska, ibland med inslag av kreolska. Hon har ett tjugotal böcker bakom sig, såväl romaner som novell- och diktsamlingar. Eva ur spillrorna blev en stor framgång när den gavs ut i Frankrike och tilldelades ett flertal priser, bland annat det prestigefyllda Prix des cinq continents de la francophonie. Romanen har också filmatiserats. Maja Thrane är författare, översättare och litteraturkritiker.

The Living Days
A chance encounter on Portobello Road incites an unsettling, magnetic attraction between Mary, an elderly white woman, and Cub, a British-Jamaican boy, and drives her crumbling world into heightened delusion. The two struggle to keep their footing as white supremacy, desperation and class conflict collide on the streets of London. Through exquisite juxtaposition, Ananda Devi exposes the tensions of an increasingly nationalistic and polarised metropolis. At once realistic and fantastical, The Living Days encapsulates Devi's daring, unflinching talent and paints an unforgettable portrait of London at it's most bewitching, and most dangerous.
