The Country Life - Rachel Cusk
WINNER OF THE SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD Cusk combines humour and striking emotional honesty. Financial Times Cusk shows a brilliant, and often hilarious funny, aptitude for identifying surreal moments in social interaction. Evening Standard Cusk is a highly interesting, original writer and more unusually she is a joy to read. The TimesStella Benson sets off for Hilltop, a tiny Sussex village housing a family that is somewhat larger than life. Her hopes for the Maddens may be high, but her station among them, as au pair to their irascible son Martin - is undeniably low. What could possibly have driven her to leave her home, job and life in London for such rural ignominy? Why has she severed all contact with her parents? Why is she so reluctant to talk about her past?The Country Life is a rich and subtle story about embarrassment, awkwardness and being alone; about families, or the lack of them; and about love in some peculiar guises.

A Finalist for the Folio Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and the Baileys WomenÂ’s Prize for FictionOne of The New York Times Top Ten Books of the Year. Named a A New York Times Book Review Notable Book and a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker, Vogue, NPR, The Guardian, The Independent, Glamour, and The Globe and Mail Chosen as one of fifteen remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write in the 21st century by the book critics of The New York Times Rachel Cusk s Outline is a novel in ten conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her students in storytelling exercises. She meets other visiting writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her neighbor from the plane. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves: their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets, and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face a great loss.

Kudos - Rachel Cusk
One of the most astoundingly original and necessary books I ve ever read. Guardian A landmark in twenty-first-century English literature. Observer A perfect synthesis of form and content. Deborah LevyA woman on a plane listens to the stranger in the seat next to hers telling her the story of his life: his work, his marriage, and the harrowing night he has just spent burying the family dog. That woman is Faye, who is on her way to Europe to promote the book she has just published. Once she reaches her destination, the conversations she has with the people she meets â “ about art, about family, about politics, about love, about sorrow and joy, about justice and injustice â “ include the most far-reaching questions human beings ask. These conversations, the last of them on the phone with her son, rise dramatically and majestically to a beautiful conclusion. Following the novels Outline and Transit, Kudos completes Rachel Cuskâ ™s trilogy with overwhelming power.

Tranzit - Rachel Cusková
Autobiografická vypravěčka Faye se ve druhém díle románové trilogie Obrys ocitá v Londýně, kde rekonstruuje vybydlený byt, vyjednává se záštiplnými sousedy, učí tvůrčí psaní a přitom tak jako v prvním díle mluví s rozličnými postavami. Kadeřník jí líčí soužití s dospívajícím synovcem, zedník vypráví o skleněném domě, který si postavil doma v Polsku, student o výchově perských chrtů. Leccos vychází najevo i o Faye, byť k nám informace o ní pronikají spíše mezerami mezi cizími příběhy. Inovativní a formálně vybroušený způsob vyprávění, který britsko-kanadská spisovatelka Rachel Cusk v trilogii Obrys vytvořila, neztrácí ani v druhém díle nazvaném Tranzit na působivosti.

Obrys - Rachel Cusková
Do rozpálených Athén přijíždí spisovatelka, aby zde vedla kurz tvůrčího psaní. Jak se setkává s cizinci, dávnými přáteli či studenty, poslouchá jejich rozličná vyprávění a postupně před ní vyvstávají obrysy jejich životů. V podmanivých monolozích defilují odvěká témata jako láska, žárlivost, nenávist či povaha tvorby, zatímco vypravěččin vlastní osud, její touhy a ambice zůstávají pouze načrtnuty. Britská spisovatelka Rachel Cusk vytvořila ve volné románové trilogii, jíž je Obrys prvním dílem, zcela inovativní a zároveň strhující literární tvar, díky čemuž je považována za jednu z nejdůležitějších anglicky píšících spisovatelek poslední dekády.

Transit - Rachel Cusková
In the wake of her family s collapse, a writer and her two young sons move to London. The upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitions - personal, moral, artistic, and practical - as she endeavours to construct a new reality for herself and her children. In the city, she is made to confront aspects of living that she has, until now, avoided, and to consider questions of vulnerability and power, death and renewal, in what becomes her struggle to reattach herself to, and believe in, life.Filtered through the impersonal gaze of its keenly intelligent protagonist, Transit sees Rachel Cusk delve deeper into the themes first raised in her critically acclaimed novel Outline, and offers up a penetrating and moving reflection on childhood and fate, the value of suffering, the moral problems of personal responsibility and the mystery of change.

Restaurant Kid - Rachel Phan
A warm and poignant narrative about finding one’s self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter’s attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. **An International Bestseller**When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her parents’ time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during the Japanese occupation during the Second Sino-Japanese War and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Rachel, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. While Rachel grew up, the restaurant was there—the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it’s been both their crowning achievement and the origin of so much of their pain and suffering: screaming matches complete with smashed dishes , bodies worn down by ever-spreading arthritis, and tenuous relationships where they love one another deeply without ever really knowing each other. In Restaurant Kid, Rachel seeks to examine the way her life has been shaped by the rigid boxes placed around her. She had to be a good daughter, never asking questions, always being grateful. She had to be a “real Canadian,” watching hockey and speaking English so flawlessly that her tongue has since forgotten how to contort around Cantonese tones. As the only Chinese girl at school, she had to alternate between being the Asian sidekick, geek, or slut, depending on whose gaze was on her. Now, thirty-one years after their restaurant first opened, Rachel s parents are cautiously talking about retirement. As an adult restaurant kid, Rachel’s good daughter role demands something new of her—a chance to get to know her parents on the trip of a lifetime. Bringing to lyric life the prism of growing up in a third culture, Rachel Phan has crafted a vibrant new narrative of growing up, the strength and foibles of family, and how we come to understand ourselves.

This is the kind of book few writers possess the clarity of vision to write MAX HASTINGS, SUNDAY TIMES Magnificent... There are great lessons in the nature of humanity to be learnt here TELEGRAPHGermany, 1945: a country in ruins. Cities have been reduced to rubble and more than half of the population are where they do not belong or do not want to be. How can a functioning society ever emerge from this chaos?In bombed-out Berlin, Ruth Andreas-Friedrich, journalist and member of the Nazi resistance, warms herself by a makeshift stove and records in her diary how a frenzy of expectation and industriousness grips the city. The Americans send Hans Habe, an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and US army soldier, to the frontline of psychological warfare - tasked with establishing a newspaper empire capable of remoulding the minds of the Germans. The philosopher Hannah Arendt returns to the country she fled to find a population gripped by a manic loquaciousness, but faces a deafening wall of silence at the mention of the Holocaust.Aftermath is a nuanced panorama of a nation undergoing monumental change. 1945 to 1955 was a raw, wild decade poised between two eras that proved decisive for Germany s future - and one starkly different to how most of us imagine it today. Featuring black and white photographs and posters from post-war Germany - some beautiful, some revelatory, some shocking - Aftermath evokes an immersive portrait of a society corrupted, demoralised and freed - all at the same time.

Havran v kávomate - Ráchel Noa
Tajomná Ráchel Noa sa ako prízrak vynára z internetového sveta, aby priniesla svoju vášnivú výpoveď o živote, láske a smrti. Hoci zatiaľ publikovala poéziu iba na Facebooku, jej básne prezrádzajú, že na scénu slovenskej poézie vkročilo zvláštne stvorenie. Jej debutová zbierka Havran v kávomate, je presne ako káva. Silná. Niekedy až príliš. Neznesiteľne úprimná, no zároveň neodolateľná tou zvláštnou arómou, akú má v sebe nezameniteľná osobnosť. Kniha vznikla výberom z viac ako desaťročnej tvorby a odzrkadľuje rôzne chute života, atmosféry, nádeje aj sklamania, ktoré Ráchel prežila za tento čas. Vnútorne je členená do troch kapitol, pričom každá z nich obsahuje 33 básní. V prvej kapitole zažijeme opojenie láskou a jej túžbami, v druhej precestujeme s Ráchel , kávou a havranmi celý svet, aby sme v tretej spočinuli pred nevyhnutnosťou osudu. Veľké príbehy sa vždy odohrávajú pred tvárou smrti. Napriek ťaživosti témy lúčenia, dokáže autorka aj sem vniesť mäkkosť a ladnosť. Jej poézia je intímnou spoveďou ženy, ktorá veľa v živote prežila, ale ešte viac dúfa v silu života. Kto je teda Ráchel Noa? Obyčajná žena, bojujúca s obyčajnými neobyčajnosťami života o ktorých nám posiela tajné správy po havranoch. Je presne taká, ako mnohí z nás...Knihu po výtvarnej stránke dotvoril významný český maliar a básnik Ladislav Maria Wagner.

Earth Room - Rachel Mannheimer
Selected by Nobel Laureate Louise Glück as Winner of the inaugural Changes Book Prize, Rachel Mannheimerâ ™s debut, Earth Room, is a dazzling book-length narrative poem that explores with tenderness how art and love intersect to make oneâ ™s life. Transporting the reader across decades and from the Moon to Mars by way of Alaska, Berlin, and the Hudson Valley, Earth Room considers a lineage of sculpture, performance, and land artâ ”from Robert Smithson to Pina Bauschâ ”with observations shaped by gender and environment, history and portents of apocalypse. With an urgent, direct, and unmistakably powerful voice, Mannheimer tests the line between nature and culture, ordinary life and performance.A work of sly wit and bracing sincerity, Earth Room is an original, unsparing book that Louise Glück calls â œa lesson in how to make something of where we find ourselves.â RACHEL MANNHEIMER was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and lives in New Haven, Connecticut, where she works as a literary scout and as a senior editor for The Yale Review. This is her first book.â œMultiple readings of Rachel Mannheimerâ ™s thoroughly fresh debut reward and fascinate like multiple visits to Walter De Mariaâ ™s eponymous â œEarth Roomâ installation. This book is a charismatic travelogue for our interior and exterior landscapes; itâ ™s a conceptual art catalog with a poetâ ™s notes written in the margins; itâ ™s a one-act play of engrossing verbal theater. The stupendous Earth Room makes language a place. Itâ ™s roomy, itâ ™s personal, itâ ™s every day.â â ”TERRANCE HAYES, author of American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin â œRachel Mannheimerâ ™s Earth Room is something uncanny. Behold the odd charge in the atmosphere: one minute, your attention is carried forth by the poemsâ ™ calibrated details and riveting textures of thought; the next, youâ ™re inexplicably bereft, left with a dense, lush grief lodged inside you. Itâ ™s a feat the poem pulls off again and again: making traces of meaning felt while leaving much unseen. Earth Room registers the body traversing and impressing upon the edges of psychic, physical, and imagined landscapesâ “and at each way station and geographic marking, Mannheimerâ ™s warm, animating intelligence renews its insistent claim on lifeâ ™s blurriness and opacity. Earth Room is a singular and lambent collection, made perfectly strange.â â ”JENNY XIE, author of Eye Levelâ œTo describe Rachel Mannheimerâ ™s elegiac Earth Room, I need to borrow the words an astronaut used to convey his first impression of the moon: â ˜magnificent desolation.â ™ This is an intimate, understated, lunar-lit work of earthen dispossession in which Mannheimerâ ”in community, in grief, in love, and in solitudeâ ”acknowledges the very fine eroding line between art and life, and dares not only to cross it, but to do so with abandon. There is nowhere in this vertiginous work, as it takes us to memorials, galleries, performances, parks, guestrooms, seascapes, and cemeteries, in which the scale of human atrocity is not palpably encountered in â ˜direct, tactile intimacy.â ™ Earth Room is a wholly original confessional-ekphrastic undertaking that brings artifice and reality so close they speak with a single crystalline voiceâ ”Mannheimerâ ™s. This is an extraordinary book.â â ”ROBYN SCHIFF, author of A Woman of Propertyâ œHow many voices can sustain an entire book length poem? I think of Claudia Rankine and Maggie Nelson. And here, Mannheimer, as she thinks aloud on the page with her supple, discerning intelligence. This is that rare work that is both profoundly alert to its historical moment and also, in the questions it entertains and the magnitude of its intent, timeless.â â ”LOUISE GLÜCK, author of Faithful and Virtuous Night

MAIL ON SUNDAY A sharp, absorbing and emotionally intelligent novel. GUARDIANâ ˜A beautifully written family drama ... Long after I finished the last page, I found I missed these characters â “ always the sign of a special bookâ ™ - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING A thoroughly engaging examination of familial truths that define and endanger the precious, ever-precarious sibling bond. The beautiful writing, unforgettable characters, and stunning setting make this a must-read. - Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in ChemistryThere is a heatwave across Europe. Goose and his three sisters gather at the family s house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting. Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father s legacy truly is. Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them. It made me laugh, it made me cry and I couldnâ ™t put it down. If you are a fan of Maggie Oâ ™Farrell you must read this. - Louise Minchin, TV presenter and author of Isolation Islandâ ™The renowned artist - the emotionally starved children - what an inspired subject!

I couldnâ ™t love it more. - Harriet Evans, author of The Garden of Lost and Foundâ ˜A triumph of insight and empathy!â ™ - Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures Joyce is a fearless explorer of emotional landscape. â “ Sunday Times If only there were more novelists like Rachel Joyce â “ Telegraph
