Muzeum sebevražd jedné trans holky


Už jste se někdy procházely muzeem svých vlastních emocí? Muzeem, v jehož vitrínách jsou vystaveny v ostrém světle vaše dřívější myšlenky a rozpačité sociální situace? A už jste se v něm někdy ztratily na tak dlouho, že jste se začaly bát, že nikdy nenajdete cestu ven? Memoár muzeum sebevražd jedné trans holky americké autorky a psycholožky hannah baer neúprosně odhaluje zkušenost trans těl a boří zažité představy o tranzici jakožto lineárním procesu směřujícím k pevnému, ukončenému a binárnímu stavu. baer nás nechává nahlédnout do svého osobního archivu, provází nás emočními propady své druhé puberty, během které si v ketaminovém opojení manicky zaznamenává proměnlivé úvahy o genderu, sexualitě a patriarchátu. Vše podrobuje hluboké sebereflexi, ve které si zvědomuje své třídní postavení, a deníkové zápisky protkává kritickou teorií, diagramy a memy. Kniha je upřímným cestopisem tranzicí a meditací o naději na přežití v současném světě. hannah baer je spisovatelka a klinická psycholožka v psychoanalytickém výcviku žijící v New Yorku. Své memy publikuje na instagramovém účtu @malefragility

Středověk, časově blíže neurčené období. Století nekonečných válek, politických i náboženských nesvárů, porážek, které přinášejí prospěch a vítězství, na která se doplácí, století slavných vojevůdců i jejich neúspěšných odpůrců. To vše na obzoru všedních příběhů prostých lidí. Krajinou se potulují prchající zoufalci i sveřepí kořistníci, zbytky žoldnéřských vojsk, která za úplatu ochotně mění praporce na žerdích. Hledají střechy k přezimování, odlišit je od loupeživých tlup je obtížné. Však ani ti, kteří na události doplácejí, se nemohou vyhnout činům pomáhajícím přežít. Středem dění je osaměle stojící tvrz, částečně chráněná hlubokými lesy, skalami a rozlehlým močálem, opředeným křivolakými pověstmi. Dědic tvrze svévolně odhazuje krunýř vojenského šatu a vrací se domů. Nachází tvrz v troskách. Dopřává jí novou tvář, soustřeďuje kolem sebe odkudsi prchající, věkově, národnostně i charakterově rozdílné, prahnoucí do teple aspoň dočasného domova. I v odlehlém krajinném zákoutí se na tvrz postupně vkrádá pocit ohrožení. Matoucí zprávy ze světa jsou stejně nespolehlivé jako ti, kteří je přinášejí. Na tvrz přicházejí podezřelí cizinci. Vnášejí neklid, vyvolávají drobné sváry, i na hrdelní činy dochází, vztahy se komplikují, také milostné vzněty či pouhé lehkomyslné hrátky zasévají svá semena. Okolní vesnice, tvrze i objekty rozličného účelu podléhají zkáze, podivné přesuny vojsk jsou předzvěstí dalších nepokojů. Pozornost budí vzdálené noční požáry. Dochází k přímému ohrožení, pán na tvrzi se snaží uchránit obyvatele před přímou konfrontací s možnou přesilou, dává však přednost slovu před mečem. Vysílá zvědy, kontrolující okolí. Nejmladší odchází s konkrétním posláním do vzdálené vsi, která se vzpamatovává z pobytu bezohledných nájezdníků. Krajinou zmítanou přesuny vojsk se komplikovaně vrací s dívkou, která přišla o všechno. Také jim se močál stává svízelnou noční překážkou. V podzimně laděné náruči divoké pahorkaté krajiny spěchají ke tvrzi jako k bezpečnému útočišti…

Viadukt


Promyšleně vystavěný, závažný a čtivý příběh scenáristky Anny Vovsové začíná vyprávět fotografka Hana, jež se rozhodla, že nechce dál žít. Po ponižujících manželových avantýrách a neustálých odchodech pro ni život ztratil smysl: děti pod vlivem neukotveného mládí nemá, vztah se sestrou povážlivě skřípe. Všechno už tu bylo, vše vyfotografovala, vyvolala a uložila, takže nadešel čas zúčtovat – rozhodne se skočit z viaduktu. Nevyjde jí to. V pokusu o sebevraždu jí zabrání jiná tragédie, která je výsledkem náhodného setkání Hanina manžela s neznámým mladým cizincem, nejspíš syrským uprchlíkem, s nímž se sblížila její neteř… Soukromá historie bloudících postav se odvíjí na pozadí světových událostí, a tak ve Viaduktu rezonuje nejen téma sváru dvou ženských generací a živoření po boku nepravého muže. Haninu tíseň umocňují i tíha exilové zkušenosti, jíž autorka ve Francii mimochodem sama prošla, a uprchlická krize jako dopad dnešních válečných konfliktů. Próza psaná vytříbeným jazykem splétá vzpomínky na minulost se současností a prostředky filmové řeči nechává čtenáře domýšlet, kudy se budou kroky románových postav ubírat dál.

The Life of Herod the Great


''The Life of Herod The Great – like Hurston herself – is a masterpiece, a miracle, and a marvel. In other words, treasure for the whole world'' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage*In the 1950s Zora Neale Hurston penned a historical novel reconsidering the life of one of the most well-known biblical figures, Herod the Great. That novel was never published in Hurston''s lifetime. Now for the first time, it is brought to glorious life with commentary from scholar Deborah G. Plant.Far from his villainous portrayal in the New Testament, Hurston casts Herod as a forerunner of Christ, a beloved king who enriched Jewish culture and brought prosperity and peace to Judea. An intimate of both Marc Antony and Julius Caesar, the Judean king lived in a time of war and imperial expansion that was rife with political assassinations and bribery, as the old world gave way to the new.By bringing this complex, compelling and oft misunderstood leader into shining focus, The Life of Herod the Great invites the reader to reassess history and the world as they know it. What was in Herod’s time is and will be again. Zora Neale Hurston’s never-before-published novel is a lantern of understanding that might be held up to the present or the future, and nothing short of a masterpiece.A never-before-published novel from beloved author Zora Neale Hurston, revealing the historical Herod the Great – not the demon the Bible makes him out to be but a religious and philosophical man who lived a life of adventure.*Praise for Zora Neale Hurston:''Zora Neale was a knockout in her life'' MAYA ANGELOU''Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of the very greatest American novels of the 20th century. It is so lyrical it should be sentimental; it is so passionate it should be overwrought, but it is instead a rigorous, convincing and dazzling piece of prose, as emotionally satisfying as it is impressive. There is no novel I love more'' ZADIE SMITH''To the last page that fills the soul with tears, Hurston''s novel delivers. To me, it is also a welcome reminder that books are democratic, subversive and life-changing'' THE TIMES
