Acerca de esta escucha
An amnesiac writer’s life of lies and false memories reaches a breaking point in this stunning English-language debut from an award-winning Croatian author.
As a novelist, Matija makes things up for a living. Not yet thirty, he’s written two well-received books. It’s his third that is as big a failure as his private life. Unable to confine his fabrications to fiction, he’s been abandoned by his girlfriend over his lies. But all Matija has is invention. Especially when it comes to his childhood and the death of his father. Whatever happened to Matija as a young boy, he can’t remember. He feels frightened, angry, and responsible....
Now, after years of burying and reinventing his past, Matija must confront it. Longing for connection, he might even win back the love of his life. But discovering the profound fears he has suppressed has its risks. Finally seeing the real world he emerged from could upend it all over again.

Historia
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Historia
For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.

Sixteen-year-old Nomi Nickel longs to hang out with Lou Reed and Marianne Faithfull in New York City's East Village. Instead she's trapped in East Village, Manitoba, a small town whose population is Mennonite: "the most embarrassing sub-sect of people to belong to if you're a teenager". East Village is a town with no train and no bar whose job prospects consist of slaughtering chickens at the Happy Family Farms abattoir or churning butter for tourists at the pioneer village.

The “best short story writer in English” (Time) is back with a masterful collection that explores ideas of power, ethics, and justice, and cuts to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans. With his trademark prose—wickedly funny, unsentimental, and perfectly tuned—Saunders continues to challenge and surprise: here is a collection of prismatic, deeply resonant stories that encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality.

Book is brilliantly written. Story is dark and innocent also, in the same time.

Izvrsna i brutalna
Dugo nisam pročitao ovako dobru, ali i tešku knjigu. Kristian Novak je uspio napisati roman koji se ne zaboravlja.
Knjiga je podijeljena u pet dijelova. U proslovu saznajemo da se u Međimurju 1991. dogodila serija od 8 samoubojstava, a nitko ne zna točan razlog zašto se to dogodilo. Postoje razne teorije, ali nimalo ne pomažu. Nakon toga polako otkrivamo mračne tajne tog malog mjesta.
Kroz knjigu se zanimljivo postavljaju mnogobrojni likovi. Glavni lik Matija Dolenčec pokreće radnju i brzo me uvukao u knjigu, tako da sam s velikim interesom čitao svaku sljedeću stranicu iako je to lakoća čitanja postupno padala, a tmurnost se povećavala.
Ovo je iznimno teška knjiga. Ja sam očekivao malo mračniji krimić. Ovo je sto puta brutalnije. Novak govori o tabuima i od njih ne bježi nego ulazi u sve njezine detalje. Neki dijelovi knjige su bili toliko grozni da sam imao osjećaj kao da mi se trbuh okreće.
Usprkos tom negativnom osjećaju u svojoj utrobi, aplaudiram što je autor odlučio o tome progovoriti. Demistificirao je malo mjesto, sve se počelo otkrivati i otelo se kontroli. Pokazano je koliko je nezdravo kad se skupinu prisiljava da se uklopi unutar nametnuh društvenih očekivanja. Vidi se koliko ima uništenih ljudi jer se boje djelovati da netko drugi nešto ne pomisli.
Nažalost, mnoge stvari bi se mogle prislikati u našu sadašnjost bez većih problem, pa čak i na neku drugu lokaciju. Moram priznati da je Međimurje izvrsno poslužilo za priču jer je dalo još jači utisak atmosferi. Mislim da ukoliko bi ova knjiga bila djelo nekog američkog ili skandinavskog autora, ovo bi bio novi svjetski hit.
U velikom dijelu razgovora koristi se kajkavsi narječje. Kao osobi koji nije iz tog područja moram priznat da nije bilo baš teško shvatiti što se govori. Na kraju knjige se nalazi i rječnik koji objašnjava mnoge pojmove (iako meni osobno nije bio od neke pomoći). Ukoliko vam ipak smeta kajkavski, ukoliko znate engleski preporučujem vam audio knjigu na engleskom. Specifičnosti kajkavskog se izgube, vokabular je lagan, samo čitač malo teže izgovara hrvatska imena.
Na kraju želim preporučiti ovu knjigu svima koji imaju želudac za izvrsnu, ali i brutalnu priču koja će vas ostaviti bez daha. Samo se nadam da će Ciganin, al najljepši biti ovako kvalitetan, ali ipak malo lakši.
