Krátky popis
Set in Slovakia, a revealing narrative about contemporary society.
An accidental pregnancy, a good-looking man who cares about no one
but himself, marriage because the man “had a bit of a Christian
upbringing,” divorce—that is the trajectory of Pipina’s life,
leading to single motherhood and a thousand cruelties of everyday
life because she is an ugly woman in a world where ugliness is
worse than a death sentence. At every turn, she is reminded of her
inferiority.She can’t wait for the end of each day when she can sit
in the stairwell outside of her dilapidated apartment and retreat
into her thoughts. Her drab life full of indignities dissolves only
in her beautiful, cinematic dreams. In them, she experiences
whatever she can’t do or have in real life.She creates a rich inner
world, and her razor-sharp observations, interlaced with a good
dose of humor, produce a revealing narrative about contemporary
society. In the first English translation of her work, the
brilliant Slovak author Zuzana Cigánová pulls back the veil on
people’s most private thoughts—thoughts that could very much be our
own.
