Není
Kniha literárních reportáží a fejetonů na téma pomíjení vypráví o dramatickém životě české básnířky Violy Fischerové; o neblahém osudu majitelky slavné pražské vily Miladě Müllerové; o stárnoucím autorově otci, který přijíždí opakovaně do Prahy, aby ji naposledy viděl; o polských spisovatelkách-dvojčatech, která předstírala, že nejsou Židovkami; o důchodci, který kvůli konci světa prodal svůj majetek; o albánském malíři, jehož obrazy neměly za komunismu ten správný druh optimismu; o polském sochaři-perfomerovi, jehož díla mizí z veřejného prostoru, protože provokují; o ženě, která umlátila dítě, ale nadále zůstala uč...
Women Writers of the New African Diaspora
This book makes a significant addition to the field of literary criticism on African Diaspora literatures. In one volume, it brings together the novels of eight transnational African Diaspora women writers, Yaa Gyasi, Chika Unigwe, Chimamanda Adichie, Imbole Mbue, NoViolet Bulawayo, Aminatta Forna, Taiye Selasi, and Leila Aboulela, and positions them as chroniclers of African immigrant experiences. The book inspires critical readings of these writers’ works by revealing emerging trends in women’s literature as they are being determined and redefined by immigration. As transnational subjects, the writers engage various meanings of mobility and exhibit innovative aesthetic styles; they cre...
Shoshanna's Story
At the end of World War II, Shoshanna, a survivor of Auschwitz, made her way home to Hungary. Of all her family, only she and one sister survived the camps. Years before, her young officer husband had disappeared into Russia. Believing herself a widow, Shoshanna fell under the protection of an older man who, like her, had lost everything in the Holocaust. Having given birth to this man?s child before her beloved soldier returned, she made a choice that would cloud her life?and her daughter?s?ever after. Elaine Kalman Naves is the daughter whose earliest memories were shaped by the consequences of her mother?s decision as well as by haunting family tales. Shoshanna raised Elaine amid a wealth of family lore and all-too-vivid memories: the glamorous and eccentric aunts, handsome suitors and faithless husbands, death by order of the state, and murder at the hand of a lover. This is a lush and exotic family memoir set against momentous events, yet timeless in its truth-telling lessons.

Casualty of War
Not all casualties of war die on the battlefield. In the wake of World War II, Yugoslavia purged its territory of the ethnic Germans who had formed a part of its human mosaic. Tarred with their ethnic origins and the conscription of their fighting-age men into the Waffen SS, the Volksdeutsche, as these settlers were called, were rounded up at the war's end and herded into concentration camps. Those who were not murdered or did not die from the harsh conditions were expelled from the village homes their families had known and loved for three hundred years. Nine years old when she entered the concentration camp in 1945, author Luisa Lang Owen survived the persecution of the Danube Swabians, ev...
