Art of Opposition
''What a triumph ... One of Britain''s most gifted and inspiring writers'' – Sarah Hall''Every artist needs to read this book, there''s something for the soul on every single page'' Derek OwusuBoth as a novelist and as a screenwriter, Courttia Newland has found himself, through circumstance or choice, in a place of opposition to the commercial mainstream. Now, he reflects on what it means to be an artist operating in the margins and shares his experiences and observations for those facing similar hurdles and choices.Newland covers key aspects of creating beyond the mainstream, including centring your own voice; which voices are allowed full freedom of artistic expression and which are not; the importance of reading outside of the white Western canon; and how success shapes the work of historically excluded creatives. Alongside his own observations and experiences, he explores the work of – and in some instances interviews – other oppositional artists, including Percival Everett, Lou Mensah, Iain Banks, Jean Binta Breeze and others. The result is a startling provocation, and a galvanising vindication of refusing to conform.

Detské doplňovačky 4 2026 a ľudské telo 2
V tomto čísle Detských doplňovačiek pokračujeme v téme Ľudské telo, ktorej sme sa venovali už pred rokom. Táto téma je veľmi obsiahla, a do jedného čísla sa nám nevošlo všetko to, čo by tam byť malo, i keď redakčný kocúrik Markus robil, čo mu sily a labky stačili. Takže je tu nová porcia skvelých hlavolamov, ktoré si treba vylúštiť, aby ste sa dozvedeli, prečo je pre človeka dôležitý smiech, ako funguje ľudský mozog, čo sú to neuróny a načo sú dobré nervy… a ešte veľa iných, veľmi zaujímavých vecí.
Pomsta je krvavá 1
Lana Myersová prahne po odplate. Čakala a pripravovala sa na ňu desaťročie. Jej niekdajší trýznitelia si myslia, že je dávno mŕtva. Ibaže ona prežila, zmenila si identitu a pustila sa do premyslenej pomsty. Cestu jej skríži špičkový a charizmatický agent FBI Logan Bennett, vyšetrujúci, ako inak, sériové vraždy. Logan netuší, s kým má do činenia, a iskra, ktorá medzi ním a Lanou preskočí, je neodškriepiteľná. Ako sa ich vzájomné puto prehlbuje, v stávke je toho čoraz viac. Začína sa napínavá hra na mačku a myš. Lana sa pokúša zvládnuť novoobjavený cit i vieru v dobro. Zároveň nepoľavuje ani vo svojich plánoch pomsty.
Knižná séria Pomsta je krvavá postupne odkrýva Lanin aj Loganov príbeh. Čitateľov nenechá ani na chvíľu vydýchnuť. Ľahko sa pristihnú pri tom, že brutálnej, no sympatickej Lane – označovanej aj za akúsi ženskú verziu Dextera Morgana – napriek morálnym pochybnostiam držia palce, a príbehom sa dajú strhnúť. Dynamickosť znásobuje striedanie rozprávača po každej kapitole, takže raz vnímame udalosti z Laninho a potom zase z Loganovho pohľadu.
S.T. ABBY je jedným zo pseudonymov americkej spisovateľky Christie Owens. Práve pod týmto aliasom napísala svoju najznámejšiu knižnú sériu Pomsta je krvavá (v angličtine vyšla v roku 2016 pod názvom Mindf*ck Series). Owens zomrela v roku 2021, pričom mala len 37 rokov. Presné okolnosti jej úmrtia neboli zverejnené, čo časť jej fanúšikov dodnes podnecuje k rôznym oficiálne nepodloženým špekuláciám.
Mačkári
Pútavý príbeh o láske, rodine, ktorú si vyberáme sami, a sile vzájomného prepojenia
Núria je baristka, ktorá sa vedome rozhodla pre život bez partnera a odmieta nálepku „bláznivá mačacia pani“. Je členkou organizácieThe Meow-Yorkers v Brooklyne, v ktorej sa stará o túlavé mačky. Počas jednej z dobrovoľníckych obchôdzok po meste, presne tam, kde býva jej obľúbený túlavý Kocúr, nájde lepiaci lístoček od tajného obdivovateľa. Táto situácia sa opakuje. Kocúr je ako väčšina mačiek zvedavý a prefíkaný, takže presne vie, kto tam odkazy necháva. Núria to však netuší.
Je pisateľom lístočkov Collin, úspešný spisovateľ a samotár so slabosťou pre dobrú kávu? Alebo Lily, čerstvá absolventka strednej školy, ktorá pátra po svojej dávno stratenej nevlastnej sestre? Sú od Omara, obľúbeného miestneho poštára, ktorý práve prechádza predčasnou krízou stredného veku? Či od Bonga, majiteľa večierky, ktorý sa vyrovnáva so stratou blízkej osoby? Keď Kocúr náhle ochorie, týchto päť cudzích ľudí spojí túžba postarať sa o neho. Napokon zistia, že náhodné stretnutia môžu viesť k priateľstvám, po akých celý čas túžili.
