WINNER OF THE WHITBREAD FIRST NOVEL AWARD''A writer with a poet''s eye for convincing detail.'' Sunday Telegraph''A funny, knowing tale of middle-class, middle-twenties angst ... Cool, resonant, and accomplished.'' Independent''Told with irony and insight and some surreally beautiful imagery. At times it made me laugh out loud.'' Sheila MacKayAgnes Day – sub-editor, suburbanite, failure extraordinaire – has discovered disconcerting gaps in her general understanding of the world. Terminally middle-class and incurably romantic, Agnes finds herself chronically confused by the most basic interactions. Life and love go on without her, but with a little façade she can pass herself off as a success. Beneath the fiction, however, the burden of truth becomes harder to bear.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Return of Agnes Przemyslide was written by Josef Tomáš between 1996 and 1999, in Melbourne, Australia, under the influence of one of his visits to Prague, where-as he himself has implied-the sight of the city evoked in him its still-living historical continuity with all the horrors and beauties of its past. The canonization of Agnes Przemyslide, also called Agnes of Bohemia, which had occurred a few years earlier (on 12 November 1989), may have served as an additional impulse towards the book's creation. The dual storyline of The Return of Agnes Przemyslide-if it is possible, in this poetic allegory, to talk about a storyline-concerns a man, and a woman who has come from abroad at the man‘s invitation. Together they walk through Prague. They are human beings of the present, but it is as if they were at the same time the Czech king Wenceslaus I and his sister Agnes, meeting each other again after many centuries. As is well known, the relationship between Agnes and Wenceslaus was very warm and Agnes was often a mentor to her brother. The man and the woman are visiting, in Prague, those places that are somehow associated with Agnes, and the woman is constantly trying to find any evidence that she, in the distant past, was indeed Agnes. She is also seeking an answer to the question of why she has returned. Was it really because she had to come back to what she loved more than anything else?

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.

Selected by Nobel Laureate Louise Glück as Winner of the inaugural Changes Book Prize, Rachel Mannheimer’s debut, Earth Room, is a dazzling book-length narrative poem that explores with tenderness how art and love intersect to make one’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 art—from Robert Smithson to Pina Bausch—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 “a lesson in how to make something of where we find ourselves.”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.“Multiple readings of Rachel Mannheimer’s thoroughly fresh debut reward and fascinate like multiple visits to Walter De Maria’s eponymous “Earth Room” installation. This book is a charismatic travelogue for our interior and exterior landscapes; it’s a conceptual art catalog with a poet’s notes written in the margins; it’s a one-act play of engrossing verbal theater. The stupendous Earth Room makes language a place. It’s roomy, it’s personal, it’s every day.”—TERRANCE HAYES, author of American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin “Rachel Mannheimer’s Earth Room is something uncanny. Behold the odd charge in the atmosphere: one minute, your attention is carried forth by the poems’ calibrated details and riveting textures of thought; the next, you’re inexplicably bereft, left with a dense, lush grief lodged inside you. It’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 landscapes–and at each way station and geographic marking, Mannheimer’s warm, animating intelligence renews its insistent claim on life’s blurriness and opacity. Earth Room is a singular and lambent collection, made perfectly strange.”—JENNY XIE, author of Eye Level“To describe Rachel Mannheimer’s elegiac Earth Room, I need to borrow the words an astronaut used to convey his first impression of the moon: ‘magnificent desolation.’ This is an intimate, understated, lunar-lit work of earthen dispossession in which Mannheimer—in community, in grief, in love, and in solitude—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 ‘direct, tactile intimacy.’ Earth Room is a wholly original confessional-ekphrastic undertaking that brings artifice and reality so close they speak with a single crystalline voice—Mannheimer’s. This is an extraordinary book.”—ROBYN SCHIFF, author of A Woman of Property“How 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.”—LOUISE GLÜCK, author of Faithful and Virtuous Night
