unexploded ordnance catharina coenen

WINNER OF THE 2023 RESTLESS BOOKS PRIZE FOR NEW IMMIGRANT WRITINGIn imaginative prose that interrogates the past with a poet’s curiosity and a scientist’s pen, Unexploded Ordnance seeks to answer how we are shaped by the stories we inherit. After moving from Germany to the US to work as a professor of biology, Catharina Coenen takes up residence in a second language to voice the questions she could not ask at home. To what extent was her grandfather implicated in World War II? What exactly did her grandmother, mother, and aunt live through? And why are women’s wartime stories so seldom told? Coenen peels back generational silences to walk alongside her grandmother, who comes of age during Hitler’s rise to power, watches friends disappear one by one, and flees bombing raids with her tiny daughters. Weaving reflections on language, biology, queerness, art, and memory, Coenen moves between the personal and the universal with stunning honesty and elegance.

Po velmi úspěšných knihách Brambory na vloupačku a Půjčiti stříbro, loupiti zlato se Catharina Ingelman-Sundbergová vrací se třetí knihou o Lize důchodců nesoucí název Loupež bez cavyků. Ligu důchodců nikdo nezastaví. A její členové teď momentálně potřebují peníze - hodně peněz. Zpříjemnit a rozveselit život starým lidem něco stojí. A proč nenapodobit svět velkých financí a nerozdělovat bonusy - jenže tentokrát lidem s nízkými příjmy a chudým, kteří potřebují trochu povzbudit. Neobyčejná bankovní loupež sice vynese víc než deset miliónů, ale to vystačí tak akorát na to, aby si Liga důchodců ve Stockholmu pronajala jachtu a provozovala na ní restauraci s nabídkou speed datingu a tanečních dýchánků pro seniory. A naše čtveřice má přitom mnohem dalekosáhlejší plány. Märtha s přáteli se rozhodnou mířit mnohem výš a získat opravdu velké peníze mezi bezohlednými finančníky, daňovými podvodníky a velkoobchodníky. V honbě za jměním důchodci riskují, když se snaží vylákat peníze z miliardářů na luxusních jachtách v Saint-Tropez. A ještě ke všemu je jim v patách policie. Román Loupež bez cavyků je dalším dílem nové trilogie z žánru komediální "kriminálky". První část, Brambory na vloupačku, vyšla už ve 24 jazycích a připravuje se i její filmové zpracování.
