Krátký, leč divuplný život Oskara Wajda - Junot Díaz

Junot Díaz, americký autor původem z Dominikánské republiky, vyrůstající v New Jersey a nyní žijící v New Yorku, si získal nadšené zástupy čtenářů a posléze i uznání v podobě Pulitzerovy ceny v r. 2008 právě tímto románem. Hlavní postava Oskar (narážka na Oscara Wilda) je milý, ale značně obtloustlý nýmand, který v New Jersey sní o tom, že se stane dominikánským Tolkienem a že díky tomu najde konečně lásku. Možná se mu to ale nikdy nemá splnit, protože jeho rodinu už po několik generací pronásleduje prastará kletba zvaná fukú, jež je sužuje různými pohromami, smůlou a hlavně nešťastnými láskami. Oskar stále jen teprve sní o svém prvním polibku a zdá se být zatím poslední obětí rodinné kletby, když se jednoho osudového léta rozhodne, že to s fukú skoncuje. Ve jménu lásky je třeba riskovat všechno.

This Is How You Lose Her - Junot Díaz

Junot Diaz''s new collection, This Is How You Lose Her, is a collection of linked narratives about love - passionate love, illicit love, dying love, maternal love - told through the lives of New Jersey Dominicans, as they struggle to find a point where their two worlds meet. In prose that is endlessly energetic and inventive, tender and funny, it lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of the human heart. Most of all, these stories remind us that the habit of passion always triumphs over experience and that ''love, when it hits us for real, has a half-life of forever.''

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. You try every trick in the book to keep her. You write her letters. You drive her to work. You quote Neruda ... You try it all, but one day she will simply sit up in bed and say, No more.In Yunior, a Dominican–American writer and Harvard professor, Junot Díaz has created an irresistibly erratic protagonist, who sweeps you up in the poetic energy of his speech as he rehearses a broad repertoire of bad behaviour.Originally the climactic tale in the chain-linked This is How You Lose Her, ''The Cheater’s Guide to Love’ is a superb standalone song of decadence and experience.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Tremendous - Joey Diaz

New York Times Bestseller. Outsider. Misfit. Criminal. Convict... Movie star. Family man. Comedy legend. Joey Diaz has been called every name in the book (and then some). Now, for the first time, he shares the story of his unlikely rise to fame in his own words -- with no punches pulled. Today, he stars in hit films, headlines sold-out tours, hosts the popular Uncle Joey''s Joint podcast, and is a devoted father -- but his life wasn''t always so picture-perfect. Joey ''Coco'' Diaz credits his success to his ''immigrant mentality,'' the work ethic his mother modeled for him and on which countless others have depended to survive the harsh landscape of being an outsider. Diaz wasn''t always a star, but he was always a comedian -- it just took him a while to figure it out. To be fair, he was pretty busy while he was young: helping his tough-as-nails mother in her bar, holding a gun for the first time at the age of six, and later dealing drugs and serving time. Tremendous is the story of Diaz''s life, from grueling childhood and misspent youth to finding his true calling in comedy. Immigrants, fans of celebrity tales, and comedy ...

Radiophonic Feminisms - Esther Diaz Martin

How Latina voices in commercial radio and podcasting subvert cultural norms and bring feminism to the fore of their work. What does Latina feminism sound like in popular culture? Drawing on case studies of commercial radio programs and podcasts hosted by Latinas and oriented toward Latinx listenership, Esther DÍaz MartÍn explores how Latina voices create female-specific aural spaces that interrupt the misogynist status quo in US mainstream media. Radiophonic Feminisms focuses on radio/podcasting as a medium in which women find methods for resisting oppressive gendered cultural imaginaries. Through their specific articulations-that is, the quality of their voices-their music choices, and the soundscapes they construct, Latina hosts since the early 1990s have offered feminist responses to a cultural moment marked by the demographic changes brought on by the political economy of migration and the social changes wrought by media in the digital age. Drawing attention to the invisible antisexist work of creating sound, and to its reception, DÍaz MartÍn bridges the epistemic insights of Chicana feminist theory and sound studies, enriching and further decolonizing our thinking about auditory meaning making.

Magnát z Wall Street a jeho inteligentní, ale křehká manželka v časech nadbytku a spekulací stoupají na vrchol newyorské společnosti. Nyní však hrozí, že právě vydaný román odhalí nepěkné tajemství jejich manželského svazku, a onen bohatý muž se ocitá jen krůček od ztráty kontroly nad svým vlastním příběhem – příběhem nenasytnosti, lásky a zrady.Růst, román složený ze čtyř konkurenčních verzí jednoho nepolapitelného příběhu, nás přivádí na pouť za pravdou, která se neustále větví a komplikuje, až nakonec nezbývá zdánlivě nic, čeho by se dalo chytit.Diaz dokazuje, že je opravdu výjimečně nadaný spisovatel. Tato kniha je zářivý kaleidoskop, který funguje zároveň jako strhující literární záhada a zpochybnění výdobytků kapitalismu. Přečtete ji jedním dechem a nebudete ji chtít odložit!

Koho by nefascinoval pravěk! Dinosauři, mamuti, obří přesličky!Někde tam, milion let sem, milion let tam, žili i první lidé. A než vyrostli, tak byli samozřejmě dětmi. Jak si asi takové pravěké děti hrály? Čeho se bály a měly vůbec kamarády? Tolik otázek! Proč se o tom píše tak málo knížek? ptaly se spisovatelka Raquel Díaz Reguerová a ilustrátorka Lucía Serranová. Toužily po knížce o pravěkých dětech, a tak si ji vymyslely. A když říkáme —vymyslely“, tak myslíme se vším všudy.

Jenže si představte, že se svět najednou zblázní. Hora začne řvát, země se hýbe a z nebe padají hvězdy. Uprostřed všeho toho zmatku se jeskynní holčička Lami ocitne úplně sama, bez svého kmene.

Postcolonial Love Poem - Natalie Diaz

WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYSHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZEPOETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATIONPostcolonial Love Poem is a thunderous river of a book, an anthem of desire against erasure. It demands that every body carried in its pages – bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers – be touched and held. Here, the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic, and portrayed with a glowing intimacy: the alphabet of a hand in the dark, the hips’ silvered percussion, a thigh’s red-gold geometry, the emerald tigers that leap in a throat. In claiming this autonomy of desire, language is pushed to its dark edges, the astonishing dune fields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality.Natalie Diaz defies the conditions from which she writes, a nation whose creation predicated the diminishment and ultimate erasure of bodies like hers and the people she loves. Her poetry questions what kind of future we might create, built from the choices we make now – how we might learn our own cures and ‘go where there is ... Unknown localization key: "more"

When My Brother Was an Aztec - Natalie Diaz

FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYWhen My Brother Was an Aztec is a work of courage and invention – one that foregrounds the particularities of family dynamics and individual passion against the backdrop of Western mythologies and a deeply rooted cultural history. Natalie Diaz’s arresting debut explores a brother’s addiction and its devastating effects on a household, while offering a political critique of our nations and their pasts. It acknowledges absences and uncomfortable silences, as well as conjuring vivid voices and presences, from Antigone and Houdini to Huitzilopochtli and Jesus.Stolen cowboy boots, violins on fire; a mariachi band playing in the bathroom, a black bayonet carried between the shoulder blades; the beauty of busted fruit, the sight of hellish visions - Diaz both revels and reveals through her distinctive use of language and imagery, bringing to life every intimate and communal encounter, blooming abundance from scarcity. The result is a wrenching portrayal of sacrifice, want, despair and fortitude that feels truly transformative.
