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.

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.

Para las muchachas que fuimos, para la muchacha que fui, para las muchachas de todo el mundo que son como nosotras solíamos ser. Para las muchachas que nunca se vieron reflejadas en los libros. Para las muchachas ordinarias.Jaquira Díaz siempre se encontró entre extremos en lugares permeados por la violencia. A pesar de añorar tener una familia unida y un hogar seguro, éstos eran difíciles de conseguir viviendo bajo los niveles de pobreza en el caserío Padre Rivera en Puerto Rico y en Miami Beach, sobre todo tras el diagnóstico de esquizofrenia de su madre y la subsiguiente ruptura familiar. El amor y apoyo de sus panas la mantuvieron a flote al encontrarse ante otra disyuntiva: su identidad y orgullo como puertorriqueña no dejaba cabida para su nueva identidad sexual.Cada página de Muchachas ordinarias brilla por su lirismo, crudeza y sensibilidad. Desde su lucha contra la depresión y el tortuoso camino que debió recorrer como sobreviviente de agresión sexual, pasando por el estado colonial actual de Puerto Rico, Díaz narra sus vivencias con increíble lucidez y brutal honestidad, trazando la ruta que la alejó de la desesperanza y la llevó hacia el amor y el deseo de convertirse en la muchacha que siempre quiso ser.Jaquira Díaz nació en Puerto Rico y se crió en Miami Beach. Su obra ha sido publicada en Rolling Stone, The Guardian, The New York Times Style Magazine e incluida en la antología The Best American Essays 2016, entre otros.

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. Těšte se na dravé příšery, jaké svět ještě neviděl: tuleňoraptor je z nich ještě ten mírumilovnější.Život v pravěku rozhodně nebyl procházka růžovou zahradou, ovšem když jste v tom uměli chodit, mohla to být i docela psina. 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. A to je průšvih i dnes, natož v pravěku. Jak se popere s drsnými pravěkými nástrahami?

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 â “ bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers â “ 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 hipsâ ™ silvered percussion, a thighâ ™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 â “ how we might learn our own cures and â ˜go where there is loveâ ™.

FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYWhen My Brother Was an Aztec is a work of courage and invention â “ one that foregrounds the particularities of family dynamics and individual passion against the backdrop of Western mythologies and a deeply rooted cultural history. Natalie Diazâ ™s arresting debut explores a brotherâ ™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.
