Skruvstädsblomman
Rumänska Svetlana Cârstean (f. 1969) är poet och journalist som tillhör Mircea Cartarescus litterära cirkel vid Bukarest Universitet. Hon introduceras på svenska i tolkning av Athena Farrokhzad med diktsamlingen Skruvstädsblomman. Med ett brutalt bildspråk och en lek med historiens och samtidens sätt att framställa arbetarens styrka, skildras här ett tillstånd både i samhället och kroppen som kanske är flickans, kanske pojkens, kommunismen eller kommunismens fall. Drömmen har spottat ut jaget i det smala utrymmet mellan igår och imorgon, där det som komma skall tycks lika dunkelt som det som har föregått det.

Awkward
A sweet tale about two kids navigating the precarious and awkward waters of adolescence and middle school. Penelope--Peppi--Torres, a shy new transfer student, wants nothing more than to fit in and find a place among her fellow artistically inclined souls. The last thing she wants is to stand out. So when she bumps--literally--into quiet, geeky, friendly but friendless Jamie Thompson, and is teased as the 'Nerder's Girlfriend,' Peppi's first embarrassed instinct is to push him away and run. Though she later feels guilty and wants desperately to apologize for the incident, Peppi always ends up chickening out. She has no reason to speak to him, anyway, until she ends up bumping--figuratively and continually--into Jamie again! Will these two opposites ever see eye-to-eye, let alone become friends?

Secondhand Time
When the Swedish Academy awarded Svetlana Alexievich the Nobel Prize, it cited her for inventing "a new kind of literary genre," describing her work as "a history of emotions--a history of the soul." Alexievich's distinctive documentary style, combining extended individual monologues with a collage of voices, records the stories of ordinary women and men who are rarely given the opportunity to speak, whose experiences are often lost in the official histories of the nation. In Secondhand Time, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism. Everyday Russian citizens recount the past thirty years, showing us what life was like during the fall of the Soviet Union and what it's like to live in the new Russia left in its wake. Through interviews spanning 1991 to 2012, Alexievich takes us behind the propaganda and contrived media accounts, giving us a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and Russians who still carry memories of oppression, terror, famine, massacres--but also of pride in their country, hope for the future, and a belief that everyone was working and fighting together to bring about a utopia. Here is an account of life in the aftermath of an idea so powerful it once dominated a third of the world. A magnificent tapestry of the sorrows and triumphs of the human spirit woven by a master, Secondhand Time tells the stories that together make up the true history of a nation.
