Honolulu Blues
The city of Detroit and its football team have been a punchline since the 1960s - the Same Old Lions seem to have losing baked into their DNA. Joel Walkowski is a poor kid from the Midwest, cut from the same cloth as his loveable, eccentric father, Banjo Bob, who pushes forward down the field amidst his autism, alcoholism, and severe childhood trauma. They see each other most clearly on Sundays, coming together as the twelfth man on the sidelines of a team whose history looks a lot like theirs - seasons full of promise upended by a penchant for falling short. In Honolulu Blues Joel intertwines the fate of two losers - the Detroit Lions and himself - to explore the broader impact a city''s football team can have on its residents, proving that you can overcome anything if you can learn to love what disappoints you. Born and raised to be an addict, Joel is hooked on Adderall by seven and hops on the fast track to a life of alcoholism, homelessness, and - worst of all - a career in stand-up comedy. He holds his head high because he, like his family and their beloved team, is supposed to lose. Learning from the Lions what his father couldn''t teach him, Joel charts his journey to sobriety while caring for his dying father, coming to terms with the fact that there''s a difference between failing and never having been set up for success. Honolulu Blues proves the Lions story is the story of being human - carving your own path out of the ruts of the past and accepting that you don''t have to win to be worth rooting for.

Anonymovia - arabesky existencie
Nová prozaická kniha jednej z najvýznamnejších slovenských spisovateliek Jany Bodnárovej prináša kratšie, experimentálnejšie texty so silným filozofickým až meditatívnym, (seba)reflexným podtónom. Feministické, odvážne, úprimné a miestami radikálne!
Život s ňou už dávno prestal hrať férovú hru.
Musela prijať inakosť svojho tela. Najprv zvládnuť trasenie rúk. Potom to ustavičné pokyvkávanie hlavou. Trhanie zboka nabok. Potom sa naučiť chodiť ako zle naprogramovaný robot. A ešte to písmo! Keby kedysi dávno grafológ študoval jej rukou písané poznámky, hovoril by o výrazne racionálnej osobnosti, ktorá vie udržať na uzde hlbokú, dráždivú emocionalitu. Teraz sa jej písmo rozsýpa ako rozstrihaný zvlnený drôtik. Prestalo byť autentické. Alebo je pravdivé? Len iným spôsobom?
Jana Bodnárová Prozaička, poetka a dramatička. Po absolvovaní štúdia vedy o výtvarnom umení pracovala v Krajskom ústave pamiatkovej starostlivosti a ochrany prírody v Prešove, neskôr 9 rokov viedla malé vydavateľstvo BAUM.

For Rouenna
From the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend, one of the most celebrated novelists of her generation, the story of a woman's experiences of war and an unusual friendship'Resonant and provocative' VOGUE 'One of my favourite authors' NATALIE PORTMANI did not remember a Rouenna Zycinski. I was sure I had never known her. But many years ago, according to her letter, we had been neighbors in the same public housing project, on Staten Island. A writer receives a letter from an old acquaintance, recalling their shared childhood and asking if they can meet. Though fascinated by the stories Rouenna tells about her life as a combat nurse in Vietnam, the narrator flatly declines her request that they collaborate on a memoir. It is only later, in the aftermath of Rouenna's shocking death, that the narrator is drawn to write about her friend - and her friend's war. Writing Rouenna's story becomes all-consuming: at once a necessity and the only consolation. 'For Rouenna is about everything: war and remembrance, how we invent our "selves" and why; why we kill ourselves - or live. I was dazzled by this book' WASHINGTON POST 'Beautifully written . . . mesmerizing . . . enthralling' O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE'An entirely different kind of war novel . . . What emerges is something that feels like truth' SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Wrong Passport
‘This country is like a little island, where the people live so happily, as if nothing was wrong with the world...’ When Ralph Brewster wrote those lines, in the summer of 1943, Hungary’s involvement in WWII was still barely felt in Budapest. Less than a year later the Nazis took over. Born an American but given Italian nationality as a child (the ‘Wrong Passport’ of the title) Brewster refused to return ‘home’ to Italy to fight for Mussolini. Instead, he went into hiding in Budapest and his story of life in a country at war, resorting to ever more desperate measures to dodge detection, makes fascinating reading. As Fascists tighten their grip and the Soviets begin their advance, the once-carefree city of coffee houses, concert halls and thermal baths is torn apart and Brewster’s world disintegrates, together with that of his extraordinary cast of characters: the Archimandrite, the art-dealer spy, the cinema impresario, the Jewish philosophy student who refuses to wear the yellow star and the real-life ‘English Patient’.

The Politicization of Gender
This book investigates the strategic use of gender by far-right parties in Europe to mobilize voters and legitimize exclusionary nationalist agendas. Through comparative case studies of Italy and the Netherlands, it analyzes how parties deploy gendered narratives to oppose feminist and LGBTQ+ rights, justify anti-immigrant policies, and consolidate political power. Drawing on political speeches, campaign materials, manifestos, media coverage, and electoral data, the study reveals the intersections of gender with race, religion, and class in shaping political discourse. The monograph shows that gender is not a peripheral concern but a central axis in far-right strategies, influencing public opinion, social norms, and policy outcomes. By uncovering these dynamics, the book offers insights into the broader implications of far-right politics for democracy, social justice, and inclusive governance in Europe.
