Monica Ali

    20. október 1967

    Monica Ali je britská autorka bangladéšskeho pôvodu, ktorá sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na zložité témy identity a kultúrnych stretov. Jej próza je známa bohatým obrazným jazykom a prenikavým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky. Ali kladie dôraz na detailné vykreslenie postáv a prostredia, čím čitateľom umožňuje hlboko sa vcítiť do ich osudov. Jej dielo často skúma pocity odcizenia a hľadanie domova v cudzom svete.

      Dopo l'esperienza africana di Weekenders, ancora una volta il Daily Telegraph ha riunito lrvine Welsh, Monica Ali, Michel Atherton, Bella Bathurst, Jenny Colgan, Simon Garfield, W. F. Deedes, Tony Hawks, Victoria Glendinning, Sam Millet e Colm Toibin per catapultarli a Calcutta: dal confort e dalla modernità delle loro occidentalissime città, Londra e Edimburgo, a un luogo dove il passato parla ancora e il futuro chiama più forte che mai. Da quell'esperienza sono nati i racconti compresi in questa antologia che, mescolando la fiction al reportage di viaggio, riflettono modi diversi di vedere una metropoli che è nel mondo simbolo di povertà e miseria e che i suoi abitanti chiamano la Città della Gioia.
