        The Last Case of Journalist Cronina

        by Anastasiia Pika

        Aliona Cronina is a young Ukrainian journalist who started working in a highly censored publication, fully controlled by its Russian sponsor. During Euromaidan, she realized that she can no longer be a detached witness to the events and wants to fight Kremlin propaganda and reveal the truth to people. Aliona will build a brilliant career: IT journalist, Ukrainian parliament employee, MI6 intelligence agent — and she will try to thwart the Russian invasion of Ukraine that started on February 24, 2022.   The novel consists of four parts, each chapter corresponding to a case file the heroine takes on. The novel is not just about modern Ukrainian history in 2012–2022; it is primarily about the development of Ukrainian journalism and democratic society. The author seeks to answer the question of why neither censorship, nor Putin’s propaganda in the Ukrainian media, nor the attempts to suppress Ukrainian revolutions by force, nor even forced emigration and war can make a dent in Ukrainians’ inner strength and perseverance.

Hurt can be voluntary or premeditated, lethal or miniscule, but impossible to ignore.Luz Vítolo, with a raw and acute eye explores themes as delicate as preadolescent sexuality, suicide, sickness and the aftermath of an accident.These stories, like a gut punch, leave us out of breath and force us to recognize ourselves as vulnerable beings faced with the inevitable pain of being alive. “Tales of a superior intelligence. They’ll survive because they allow the reader to tremulously settle into the empty spaces, fill them in, and make them their own”.Luis Mey

        The Salt

        by Adriana Riva

        “The silence stretches. We have come this far. Mom is that unreachable inch of skin between my shoulder blades, that bit that itches and I can’t scratch”.Beginning with a childhood accident, Ema digs into the bond with her mother and, pregnant with her second child, sets on a journey for answers: who is Elena, really? Does she know her well enough? Her mother is distant and there’s an area she can’t reach, no matter how hard she tries; that hasn’t changed over the years.With an appearance of simple prose, but charged with truthful images, Adriana Riva examines family relationships with an admirable precision, humor and rawness that turn The Salt into an intimate and touching novel. “This is the age of women, and argentinian literature is being renewed by many writers. Adriana Riva writes with verbal brilliance, creates wonderful images and shoots at the heart of empathy. With this book she asserts herself, without a doubt, as a truly unique voice in this literary scene”.Santiago Llach

        Underwater

        by Melina Pogorelsky

        Underwater is a short-lived novel about a hinge stage in the life of Pablo, a first-time father who was widowed the same day his daughter Lola was born. After a long mourning period in which he exclusively raises her, he now finds in that half an hour in the pool time for himself, while Lola swims in the “mojarritas” lane.With an emphasis on the B side, the darker side of maternity and the politically incorrect, Underwater reflects a theme in crisis: the mandates that society imposes on each gender when, faced with an irreversible event, we feel that we can no longer stand.Absent of low blows, Melina Pogorelsky’s agile and forceful writing operates in different depths of sensitivity, where the skin of the other will be the main moving organ. Ironic dialogues and mental monologues converge towards a poetic immersion that manages to equalize us only to show the most valuable thing: our differences.

        الهروب حل أنيق جدًّا وبسيط جدًّا عندما نتخيله. يمكنك أن تجمع حاجياتك في حقيبة سفر وتختفي في ساعة متأخرة من الليل من دون أن يلاحظ أحد هروبك. لكن المقابل ضخم: أنت وحدك تمامًا، من دون رفيق أو صديق. هذه هي لعبة الحياة القاسية. تريد شيئًا؟ سأعطيك إياه لكني سآخذ في مقابله شيئًا آخر. مقايضة رخيصة، ويجب أن تكون مفاوضًا جيدًا لكي تخرج بأقل الخسائر، لكن في كل الأحوال هناك خسارة. لن تنتبه إلى هذه الخسارة إلا عندما تحتاج إلى ما خسرته في وقت ما. ولأن ألاعيب الحياة قذرة، لن تدعَك تشتاق إلى ما خسرته في البداية، ولكنها ستجعلك تندم عليه على نحو أو آخر لاحقًا، وعندها لن تجد إلا أنصاف الحلول. هذه هي قواعد اللعبة. إذا لم تعجبك، يمكنك شنق نفسك بأقرب حبل. عن المؤلفة ميرنا الهلباوي كاتبة وإعلامية شابة. وقعت في حب السفر ومغامراته. بدأت الكتابة بمدونة صغيرة على الإنترنت، وعملت في الصحافة في مجلة «7 أيام»، وتميَّزت في الحوارات الحصرية مع شخصيات عالمية، مما أهَّلها للترشح إلى جائزة الصحافة العربية في عام ٢٠١٦، وحازت المركز الثاني. عملت كذلك في المجال الإذاعي بقناة «إنيرجي» الفرنسية الناطقة بالعربية في مصر. حقَّقت روايتها الأولى، «مُر مثل القهوة حلو مثل الشوكولا»، الصادرة عام 2018، نجاحًا كبيرًا، ولا تزال تُعاد طباعتها حتى الآن.

        Serpents Under my Veil

        by Asiya Zahoor

        It is quite remarkable that in her very first volume, Serpents Under my Veil, Asiya Zahoor sounds like an accomplished poet with reams of poems behind her. From Medusa to Yusuf and Zulekha she cherry- p cks what she wants from Greek or West Asian myth, and moulds it to her heart’s desire. As helicopters ‘fan civilizations on her head’ she flies with her verse, and most poems are stamped with her spontaneity. Her imagery is striking, for instance Zulekha holds the moon as a mirror, what a wonderful image. Her very poem in the book reminds me of Imtiaz Dharker.
