Krátky popis
A beautifully written and moving story about the power of tradition
and the importance of women’s stories. &,nbsp,The Bonnet, the
first work of prose by Slovak poet Katarína Kucbelová, defies easy
pigeonholing: both political and personal, it is a work of literary
reportage, a quest for one’s roots, a critical exploration of folk
art and, not least, social commentary on the coexistence of the
Slovak majority and the Roma minority, offering a nuanced and
sympathetic look at the lives of Roma people in Slovakia, and
raising important questions about the nature of prejudice and
discrimination. Over two years, the author made regular visits to
the remote village of Šumiac in Slovakia to learn the dying craft
of bonnet making from one of its last practitioners, Il’ka, an
elderly local woman who in the process became her mentor in more
ways than one.Through the parallel stories of Il’ka and the
narrator’s grandmother, The Bonnet also offers a subtly feminist
reading of the position of women in rural Europe from the early
twentieth century to the present day.
