Gdzie śpiewają raki

From being told she couldn't have dance lessons as a kid in Great Yarmouth to having to conform to the stereotypes of the gay scene in London's East End, people have always been trying to put Bimini Bon Boulash in a box. It was only through discovering the art of drag that she began to fight back against those preconceptions, and understand that she had the power to define herself.

In A Drag Queen's Guide to Life, Bimini tells the story of how drag took her from the brink of self-destruction to become a gag-inducing, death-dropping, plant-based superstar. Drawing on her own experience as a nonbinary person in a binary world, as well as inspirational stories from history, politics, pop culture and fashion, she uses all her wit, charm and kindness to show us how to lead the lives we wish we could lead, through the life-changing magic of dragging up.

The setting is a comedy club in a small Israeli town. An audience that has come expecting an evening of amusement instead sees a comedian falling apart on stage; an act of disintegration, a man crumbling, as a matter of choice, before their eyes. They could get up and leave, or boo and whistle and drive him from the stage, if they were not so drawn to glimpse his personal hell. Dovaleh G, a veteran stand-up comic – charming, erratic, repellent – exposes a wound he has been living with for years: a fateful and gruesome choice he had to make between the two people who were dearest to him.

A Horse Walks into a Bar is a shocking and breathtaking read. Betrayals between lovers, the treachery of friends, guilt demanding redress. Flaying alive both himself and the people watching him, Dovaleh G provokes both revulsion and empathy from an audience that doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry – and all this in the presence of a former childhood friend who is trying to understand why he’s been summoned to this performance.

A lifetime of duty

The last thing she expects is to be torn between two very different men – a face from the past, whose loss she’s always mourned, and a roguish poet, who scorns convention.

A taste of freedom
But a lady’s reputation is fragile and with jealous eyes on Eliza’s fortune, it will only take one whisper of gossip for her to lose it all…

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both.

When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.

Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?

This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game-and searching for a new road to happily ever after.

Powieść nominowana do LIBRIS Literature Prize. „Aleksandra” to saga rodzinna osadzona na tle dziejów Ukrainy od początku XX wieku aż po rok 2018. Tytułowa Aleksandra jako osiemnastolatka została deportowana z Ukrainy i wywieziona do Niemiec. Po latach prosi swoją wnuczkę Lisę o zawiezienie do rodzinnego domu w Stanicy Ługańskiej kawałka płótna z drzewem genealogicznym ich rodziny. Ostatni członek z kozackiej odnogi, zaginiony siostrzeniec Kolia, stracił życie w niewyjaśnionych okolicznościach podczas wojny w Donbasie. Według Aleksandry dusza Kolii wciąż nie zaznała spokoju, a zadaniem Lisy jest „przeprowadzenie go na drugą stronę”. Lisa Weeda nazwała swoją powieść pomnikiem poświęconym rodzinie, która przetrwała tragiczne wydarzenia, konflikty i wojny, nieustannie zmuszana do opowiadania się po którejś ze stron barykady. To jest opowieść o ziemi, na której nie cichną burze historii. I o ludziach, którzy niezależnie od dokonywanych wyborów są skazani na wieczne tracenie. Ale przede wszystkim jest to saga rodzinna Kozaków dońskich pokazująca znaczenie siły więzi oraz dumę z własnego dziedzictwa. Czytajcie, jeśli chcecie zrozumieć toczącą się na wschodzie Ukrainy wojnę. Czytajcie, jeśli bliska Wam jest pełna wrażliwości proza, która poruszy nie tylko Wasz intelekt, ale i serce. - Agnieszka Szynal-Majewska
