Good Woman


Across time and location, women were raised to be agreeable and "good." Hyper-visible as sexual objects but invisible as full people. Living in a physical world created by men for men. Taking on the ultimate role of birth-giver and caretaker, yet seeing it remain an unsung act, even as it's a God-like creation. Only in midlife did Nolan begin to realize she was capable of living outside these cages of conditioning so slyly insidious that they're nearly invisible.  Good Woman elegantly probes the knotty conditions themselves, the costs of adhering to them, and what happens when one refuses to comply. The twelve stunning and unforgettable essays blend memoir, reportage, and history to create a collection that is alternately bold, brash, and explosive, and ravishingly tender, sensual, and joyous. Nolan takes aim at big and old ideas, and she does not miss. Hers is a testimony to witness and to savour.

X Is Where I Am


A searching, buoyant novel about queer love, mothers and daughters, and making a life in the face of the only constant: loss. Every story is a love story. In a Barcelona redolent with Almodóvar vibes, the love is between women: overlapping and messy attachments between friends, young lovers, mothers and daughters. As Sara’s mother dies, her daughter is in bed with a new obsession. She’s wracked with guilt, but the persistence of need, the demands of the body, refuse to take a dignified pause for the observance of another body leaving this world. If one of the projects of growing up is being defeated by the limits of control we have over ourselves and others, the frustration of trying and failing to be understood, then Sara’s loss, her lovers, and her longterm girlfriend are her passage from 28 and casting about to a little bit older and a little bit more sorted out. If love is “more like a quagmire than anything else—sometimes sombre, sometimes blinded by light,” then X Is Where I Am is one young woman’s fractious, hopeful, attempt to give in to it.

Metadoggoz


A wise-cracking visual dystopian feast. Gael Kaldera is a self-styled 'junkyard dog' who runs with his crew the Metadoggoz: a squad of teenage dirtbags living in the techno-megalopolis, the Metastation. With no place to crash after losing his friend s guitar, he drops a tab of 'metadoggo' at a late night rave with his friends and everything goes sideways. Strobing lights, teeming dance floors and endless skyscrapers form an eerie, futuristic backdrop for this daring, imaginative exploration of race, class, and belonging through the lens of youth culture and science-fiction. In Metadoggoz, Franco-Vietnamese cartoonist Berenice Motais de Narbonne constructs an uncomfortably familiar dystopia in which Gael and his friends slip in and out of our 'real' world in search of something better. Each shepherded by a guiding spirit, they navigate the indignities of daily life: homelessness, mental illness, violence, and yearning. Translated by Eisner Award winner Montana Kane, Metadoggoz reinvents the cyberpunk fairy tale in the vein of Tank Girl, Blade Runner, and Love & Rockets.

Lidé ve tmě. Deníky z Terezína 1941-1943


Kniha Lidé ve tmě představuje unikátní soubor autentických deníkových záznamů, básní a povídek Pavla Fischla (později známého jako Gabriel Dagan), které vznikaly v letech 1941 až 1943 v protektorátní Praze a následně v terezínském ghettu. Tento literární poklad, který autorův syn Michael Dagan objevil až v roce 2023 v pozůstalosti svých rodičů patnáct let po otcově smrti, nabízí hluboký vhled do nejniternějších pocitů, úvah o sionismu i tvůrčích procesů mladého muže čelícího kruté realitě holokaustu. Publikace mj. uvádí na pravou míru historickou nepřesnost, kdy byl úryvek z Pavlova terezínského deníku v knize Motýli tady nežijí mylně připsán jeho jmenovci Petru Fischlovi, který zahynul v Osvětimi. Dílo tak slouží nejen jako cenné historické svědectví o životě v ghettu, ale i jako hold nezlomné lidské naději a síle uměleckého vyjádření, které Pavla doprovázelo i v jeho pozdějším životě významného izraelského dramatika a psychoterapeuta.
