True stories2020Patty Pan Compote
by Olha Kari
"Patty Pan Compote" is a series of reportage sketches and essays describing how a whole generation of Ukrainians lived amidst the chaos of declining Soviet Union. This book is about what it was like to live in the 90's, when "pineapple" compote was cooked from the patty pat and eggplant became the substitute for mushrooms, when everyone was gripped by a total knitting obsession due to the lack of clothes. People grew accustomed to stockpiling absolutely everything, and the first sanitary pads have just begun to change the lives of Ukrainian women. Based on her own recollections, the author tells how the punitive gastronomy of that time worked, how the pseudo-brotherly relations with other Soviet republics often manifested themselves and how Abkhazia hosted Ukrainian schoolchildren a few months before the war between Georgia and Abkhazia.

FictionBelo se pere na devetdeset/Whites Wash At Ninety
by Bronja Žakelj
Whites Wash at Ninety is an exhilarating debut, a powerful, witty and most of all inspiring novel that tells the story of the narrator, who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. In her childhood, her world revolves around her parents, her brother Rok, her grandmother Dada, her aunts and uncles, the Sarajevo Winter Olympics and all the other big and small things that made up the world of every child growing up in Yugoslavia back then. And although it speaks about all these things, the novel is mainly a story of growing up, of facing loss and illness, of overcoming fears and of everything that we do not want to see until we are inevitably faced with it.This is a book that delves into eminent questions of life and death, with humour and charm, and without a trace of moralising or self-importance.

Le Pansement Schubert
by Claire Oppert
Music has a tremendous effect on the body and soul. Case in point. Here, the cellist Claire Oppert retraces her experiences with autistic children, end-of-life patients, or even those who are said to be insane. A date, a place, and a musical work introduce each of these portraits. There are, for example, the young autistics for whom music seems to fill the void of language, or a former boxer for whom Piaf’s “Je ne regrette rien” recalls his best fights. In addition to easing suffering, music also builds interpersonal bridges: a look, a smile, a tear, and sometimes (when words are still possible), memories, dreams, and far-off places… A book reminiscent of works by Howard Buten, When I Was Five I Killed Myself or Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
