Bosorky


Román polské autorky Agnieszky Szpily Bosorky může na mnohé působit jako zjevení. Drzost, otevřenost a naštvanost, s níž píše, se nejspíš nebude všem líbit a mnozí čtenáři či čtenářky ji nemusejí skousnout. Ovšem fakt, že se v roce 2022 dostal do dvacítky nominovaných knih na prestižní literární ocenění NIKE, svědčí o tom, že minimálně polské kritiky a jistou vrstvu polských čtenářů zaujal. Knihou se prolínají dva příběhy – jeden ze současnosti, druhý ze středověku. V obou vystupují výrazné ženské postavy: generální ředitelka velké společnosti Anna Šibnerová a Mathilde Spalt zvaná Zemitá, která šíří nauku o Staropanně.

Notebook


The story behind Notebook starts with a minor crime: the theft of Tom Cox's rucksack from a Bristol pub in 2018. In that rucksack was a journal containing ten months' worth of notes, one of the many Tom has used to record his thoughts and observations over the past twelve years. It wasn't the best he had ever kept – his handwriting was messier than in his previous notebook, his entries more sporadic – but he still grieved for every one of the hundred or so lost pages. This incident made Tom appreciate how much notebook-keeping means to him: the act of putting pen to paper has always led him to write with an unvarnished, spur-of-the-moment honesty that he wouldn’t achieve on-screen. Here, Tom has assembled his favourite stories, fragments, moments and ideas from those notebooks, ranging from memories of his childhood to the revelation that 'There are two types of people in the world. People who fucking love maps, and people who don't.' The result is a book redolent of the real stuff of life, shot through with Cox’s trademark warmth and wit.
