Nový Grossmanov román je rodinnou drámou - príbehom troch generácií silných žien. Temné udalosti z minulosti otrávili ich vzájomné vzťahy a zaviedli ich neúprosne späť. Vydávajú sa spolu na cestu na ostrov Goli otok pri chorvátskom pobreží. Dnes deväťdesiatročná Vera tu strávila tri roky v krutom politickom väzení za Titovho režimu v 50. rokoch, keď odmietla zradiť svojho manžela Miloša, neprávom obvineného z vlastizrady. Príbeh o rane, ktorá sa prenáša z generácie na generáciu, o desivej sile tajomstva, aj o láske, čo nevyhasína ani roky potom, keď milovaný už nežije. Príbeh o odvahe, opustenom materstve, o rodičovskej voľbe a jej dôsledkoch... o hriechoch otcov, v tomto prípade matiek.

“Zeruya Shalev is one of my favorite contemporary writers, her work always spiky and original, and Pain is a searing book, a wild and ravenous story of family entanglement and impossible yearning.” —Lauren Groff, author of Florida and Fates and Furies A powerful, astute novel that exposes how old passions can return, testing our capacity to make choices about what is most essential in life. Ten years after she was seriously injured in a terrorist attack, the pain comes back to torment Iris. But that is not all: Eitan, the love of her youth, also comes back into her life. Though their relationship ended many years ago, she was more deeply wounded when he left her than by the suicide bomber who blew himself up next to her. Iris's marriage is stagnant. Her two children have grown up and are almost independent; she herself has become a dedicated, successful school principal. Now, after years without passion and joy, Eitan brings them back into her life. But she must concoct all sorts of lies to conceal her affair from her family, and the lies become more and more complicated. Is this an impossible predicament, or on the contrary a scintillating revelation of the many ways life's twists and turns can bring us to a place we would never have expected to be?

A haunting love story between a young Israeli translator and a Palestinian painter.

Večerné predstavenie standup komika Dovale G. v malom izraelskom meste v ešte menšom suterénnom bare. Publikum si najprv užíva okúzľujúceho, nevypočítateľného i odpor vzbudzujúceho, no skúseného komika. Postupne sa však jeho patetická šou plná vtipov a smiechu mení na osobnú spoveď, otvorenú ranu, hlboko skrytú v jeho vnútri po celé roky. Komik je na javisku rozpoltený medzi tým, čo dlhuje publiku a čo sebe. Všetko to sa odohráva pred jeho bývalým priateľom z detstva, ktorý sa celý čas snaží pochopiť, prečobol pozvaný na túto šou. Vojde kôň do baru je román napísaný strhujúcim štýlom berúcim dych. Obecenstvo by mohlo odísť, komika vypískať či vyhodiť zo scény, keby nebolo natoľko vtiahnuté do príbehu jeho osobného pekla. Nebudete vedieť či sa smiať a či plakať, tak ako diváci v malej sále. David Grossman znovu potvrdil svoju úžasnú schopnosť vystihnúť ľudské emócie, no tentokrát s až krutou invenciou svojej doteraz hádam najzaujímavejšej postavy.

A misfit girl and her brother attend summer camp, where they struggle with primitive plumbing, snobby tent-mates, and boys-versus-girls competitions.

Ignatz Award winner Tillie Walden's powerful graphic memoir captures what it's like to come of age, come out, and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know. It was the same every morning. Wake up, grab the ice skates, and head to the rink while the world was still dark. Weekends were spent in glitter and tights at competitions. Perform. Smile. And do it again. She was good. She won. And she hated it. For ten years, figure skating was Tillie Walden's life. She woke before dawn for morning lessons, went straight to group practice after school, and spent weekends competing at ice rinks across the state. Skating was a central piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies, and family. But as she switched schools, got into art, and fell in love with her first girlfriend, she began to question how the close-minded world of figure skating fit in with the rest of her life, and whether all the work was worth it given the reality: that she, and her friends on the team, were nowhere close to Olympic hopefuls. The more Tillie thought about it, the more Tillie realized she'd outgrown her passion--and she finally needed to find her own voice
