Dry Season
Gabriela Babnik's novel Dry Season breaks the mould of what we usually expect from a writer from a small, Central European nation. With a global perspective, Babnik takes on the themes of racism, the role of women in modern society and the loneliness of the human condition. Dry Season is a record of an unusual love affair. Anna is a 62-year-old designer from Slovenia and Ismael is a 27-year-old from Burkino Faso who was brought up on the street, where he was often the victim of abuse. What unites them is the loneliness of their bodies, a tragic childhood and the dry hamartan season, during which neither nature nor love is able to flourish. She soon realizes that the emptiness between them is...
La stagione secca
Nel Continente Nero tutto può succedere. Anna, una donna di 62 anni proveniente da un piccolo Paese del Centro Europa incontra per strada Ismael, un ragazzo burkinabé dal corpo divino, e decide di condividere con lui un’esperienza amorosa fatta di carne, desolazione, solitudine e incanto. Ad accomunarli un triste passato impossibile da dimenticare, ad allontanarli la distanza tra i due mondi ai quali appartengono. Gabriela Babnik, giovane scrittrice slovena, firma una delicata opera a due voci in cui frammenti di realismo magico si intrecciano con un’acuta riflessione su temi come il razzismo, il ruolo della donna e la solitudine dell’uomo nel mondo di oggi.
The Novel and Europe
This book examines the ways in which fiction has addressed the continent since the Second World War. Drawing on novelists from Europe and elsewhere, the volume analyzes the literary response to seven dominant concerns (ideas of Europe, conflict, borders, empire, unification, migration, and marginalization), offering a ground-breaking study of how modern and contemporary writers have participated in the European debate. The sixteen essays view the chosen writers, not as representatives of national literatures, but as participants in transcontinental discussion that has occurred across borders, cultures, and languages. In doing so, the contributors raise questions about the forms of power operating across and radiating from Europe, challenging both the institutionalized divisions of the Cold War and the triumphalist narrative of continental unity currently being written in Brussels.

A Study of the Parallels between Visual Art and Music
Standard surveys of 20th century visual art imply that there is a continuity between, say, Rembrandt and Koons, between Caravaggio and Hirst. Even the sharp critics of artists who dominate the contemporary art scene, such as Warhol, Hirst, Ai Weiwei and countless others, imply such a continuity. They are all wrong. There is no such continuity, or, more precisely, it is only very weak, at best. This book explains why and how the claims regarding this continuity are false, and how we arrived at this point of great confusion about the arts.
Het droge seizoen
Ana is een tweeënzestigjarige ontwerper uit Midden-Europa, Ismail een zevenentwintigjarige Afrikaan die een harde jeugd op straat heeft gehad. Ze zijn allebei alleen; dat is wat hen samenbrengt. Maar het is de periode van het droge seizoen in Burkina Faso en noch de natuur, noch de liefde komt tot bloei. Ana beseft na enige tijd dat de leegte tussen hen niet wordt veroorzaakt door het verschil in huidskleur of leeftijd, maar doordat zij vastzit aan haar opgelegde rollen als dochter, vrouw en moeder.
