Love in the Age of Autism - Jonathan Rose, Gayle DeLong, Jennifer Rose
Gayle DeLong was a well-known activist in the autism community, the ‘Warrior Mom’ of two autistic daughters. She worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine injury issues. This book is a record (based largely on her diaries) of her happy marriage to Jonathan Rose. Love in the Age of Autism does not sugarcoat the stresses and heartbreak of raising autistic children: it is more honest about that than most other books on the subject. But it is also an inspiring love story, which can help autism parents find profound joys in spite of all the pains. It offers practical advice and models for sharing the burdens and pleasures of life, based on a strong sense of family values. This book frankly (and with an earthy sense of humour) illustrates how autism parents can continue to enjoy passionate, monogamous physical love – and it explains how to provide sex education for autistic girls. The tale that Gayle and Jonathan tell is intensely romantic and life-affirming.

Trojdílné plavky - Martina Formanová
I slunná strana života má své stíny. Nebo jsou o tom přinejmenším přesvědčeny hrdinky tří povídek v nové knížce Martiny Formanové. Na pozadí výlučného, uzavřeného okruhu ‘lepší společnosti‘ v anglosaské části státu Connecticut každopádně hledají svou vlastní verzi amerického snu, jenž se zdá - v jejich případě - tak na dosah. Jen překonat vlastní drobné nedokonalosti, pochyby, minulost. Cíl, jež se ukáže být někdy stejně nedosažitelný, jako z kteréhokoliv jiného místa planety. Po úspěšné prvotině Skladatelka voňavého prádla přichází Martina Formanová s další, neméně zajímavou novelou o současné Americe.

Povídky na tělo - Martina Formanová
Po několika románech a autobiograficky laděných prózách přichází Martina Formanová se souborem kratších povídek, které spojuje společné téma - partnerské a intimní vztahy v nejrozmanitějších podobách. S pochopením a humorným nadhledem líčí mnohdy bizarní situace a trapasy, v nichž se ocitáme v důsledku konfrontace našich snů, cílů a záměrů s realitou. Střetává se tu nejen ženský svět s mužským, ale i naše představy o sobě a o druhých se skutečným a často nahodilým chodem světa. Aktéři povídek jsou nejrůznějšího věku i společenského a profesního postavení. Čtenář se tak setkává např. s třináctiletou dívkou, v níž probouzející se sexualita vyvolává odpor i romantické snění; se všestranně úspěšným a neodolatelným mužem, kterého dostihne drobné selhání v mládí; s obyčejnými mileneckými a manželskými páry středního věku unavenými stereotypem; s mladou překladatelkou přivydělávající si nejstarším řemeslem světa; s padesátníkem, permanentně vystrašeným ze své ženy… Autorčiny momentky z milostného a sexuálního života živočišného druhu homo sapiens jsou chápavou a vtipnou četbou obohacující obě pohlaví.

První zápis je ze srpna 2018, poslední z již pandemického února 2021. S nadsázkou, sebeironií a upřímností autorka popisuje cestu k zotavení. Nečekanou součástí duševní terapie se pro ni stávají lekce stand-upu, který spojil její touhu po komunikaci, smysl pro humor i dávné zážitky z navštěvování dětského recitačního kroužku v rodném Brně.

Life After Kafka - Magdalena Platzov
A novel of Felice Bauer, Franz Kafka’s first fiancée, and the story behind Letters to FeliceFranz Kafka scholars know Felice Bauer, his onetime fiancée, through his Letters to Felice, as little more than a woman with a raucous laugh and a taste for bourgeois comforts. Life After Kafka is her story. The novel begins in 1935 as Felice flees with her children from Hitler’s Berlin, following her family and members of Kafka’s entourage—including Grete Bloch, Max Brod, and Salman Schocken—as they try to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. Years later, a man claiming to be Kafka’s son approaches Felice’s son in Manhattan and the drama surrounding Kafka’s letters to Felice begins.While taking the measure of literary fame’s long shadow, Life After Kafka depicts the magic and poison of memories, and what we cling to when all else is lost. Most of all, it illuminates the bravery required to move forward through the shattered remains of one world to rebuild life in a new one.

This Is Rhythm - Gayle F. Wald
The remarkable life story of Ella Jenkins, “The First Lady of Children’s Music.† Ella Jenkins was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. Her songs “You’ll Sing a Song and I’ll Sing a Song†and “Who Fed the Chickens?†are classics in the world of children’s music. In a career spanning more than sixty years, she recorded forty albums, won a lifetime-achievement Grammy, and became the best-selling individual artist in the history of Smithsonian Folkways Records, the independent label that played a significant role in the 1960s folk revival movement and introduced listeners to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. During her remarkable career, Jenkins joined forces with twentieth-century luminaries such as Odetta, Big Bill Broonzy, Armando Peraza, Bayard Rustin, and Fred Rogers. Despite her wide-reaching influence on children’s music, Ella Jenkins’s sonic civil rights activism isn’t widely known today.  Based on dozens of interviews and access to Ella Jenkins’s personal archives, Gayle F. Wald’s This Is Rhythm shares how Jenkins, a “rhythm specialist†with no formal musical training, became the most prolific and significant American children’s musician of the twentieth century, creating a beloved catalog of songs grounded in values of community-building, antiracism, and cultural ...

The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature - Joseph Valente, Margot Gayle Backus
Even though the Irish child sex abuse scandals in the Catholic Church have appeared steadily in the media, many children remain in peril. In The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature, Joseph Valente and Margot Gayle Backus examine modern cultural responses to child sex abuse in Ireland. Using descriptions of these scandals found in newspapers, historiographical analysis, and 20th- and 21st-century literature, Valente and Backus expose a public sphere ardently committed to Irish children's souls and piously oblivious to their physical welfare. They offer historically contextualized and psychoanalytically informed readings of scandal narratives by nine notable modern Irish authors who actively, pointedly, and persistently question Ireland's responsibilities regarding its children. Through close, critical readings, a more nuanced and troubling account emerges of how Ireland's postcolonial heritage has served to enable such abuse. The Child Sex Scandal and Modern Irish Literature refines the debates on why so many Irish children were lost by offering insight into the lived experience of both the children and those who failed them.
