        THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRANGER LIGHT

        by VLADIMIR P. ŠTEFANEC

        THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STRANGER LIGHT (Najlepša neznanka svetloba) The novel’s starting point is six portraits on the desk of the main character. These photographs show the people closest to him, with whom his life to date, its determinants, longings, regrets, captivity, the possibility of liberation, has been connected. Through fragments of memory, their stories are woven into a common story about their past, torn between the seemingly carefree life in the late nineteenth century until the 1920s, when the looming shadows of world events reached Slovenia. In this novel about liberation achieved through the clearing of an individual’s past and his family’s, about everyday melancholy and the melancholy of everyday life, which nevertheless includes some of what makes life exciting and precious, the main character keeps wondering what distance to choose for the best photographic result, as well as how close to let someone come without letting them penetrate his isolation.

        THE SECRET IS CALLED ERICH ŠLOMOVIČ (Skrivnost se imenuje Erich Šlomovič) Bata, a Belgrade antique dealer who does not speak any foreign languages, chooses young Leon from Ljubljana as his assistant for deals around Europe. Bata seems to be someone who will introduce the ambitious art student into the society of elite gallerists and high earnings. This promise becomes even more tangible when in an old villa in Zagreb, whilst buying a magnificent Vienna book case, they come across a dusty catalogue of Šlomovič’s exhibition, in which there is a list of French Impressionist paintings, and others from Modigliani to Renoir, from Kandinsky to Picasso, etc. The paintings disappeared one night in 1939 when two trains collided on their way to an exhibition in Belgrade and since then their fate has been shrouded in mystery. Occasionally they appear on the art market or in articles at home and abroad, even a film has been made about them … In Pregl’s novel, however, the story about the “secret of the Šlomovič” collection, full of lies, twists, deceptions, humour, hedonism and eroticism, is for the first time told by a player who created it from within.

The first body of a man is discovered by the police in a prestigious city quarter, in the villa belonging to one of the most successful lawyers in Rome.

By examining the events behind the scenes, Pogodba, through juicy language, lively dialogues and unexpected plot twists takes the reader into the very heart of mafia activities. The detectives, prosecutors, journalists and politicians often share past connections. Their love affairs and friendships are interwoven with their professional duties, and the lines between where the state ends and the mafia begins, are very fuzzy.

        THE LOONY BIN ON THE HILL

        by SUZANA TRATNIK

        NOMINATED FOR THE KRESNIK AWARD IN 2019 (FOR THE BEST NOVEL IN SLOVENIA). THE LOONY HOUSE ON THE HILL (Norhaus na hribu) “Oh, believe me, this woman, who is still so young, did all this. She killed someone, disposed of the body and concealed it all.” This sentence in the introduction to the novel surprises us, but still does not prepare us for what follows. The main character, Ariana, whose mother disappeared when Ariana was still very little, lives in a tense, conflictive relationship with her aunt, in the remote village of Privežice. The place which, as noted by the merciless observer and commentator Ariana, appeared around the madhouse on the hill at the end of the paved road, where one of the inmates was her grandmother. What happens is not a typical love story or a typical story about getting to know oneself, although it talks precisely about this. What distinguishes this novel above all else is the lively, flowing dialogue, and the uncompromising, direct aesthetics (sometimes involving ugliness or at least uncouthness or lack of political correctness), which grabs us and takes us on a crazy adventure.
