Skönlitteratur

<i>Stjärnans ögonblick</i> gavs ut i Brasilien 1979 och har uppnått klassiker­status både hemma i Brasilien och internationellt. Tranan gav ut romanen på svenska 2001, och inför nyutgivningen har den prisade över­sättaren Örjan Sjögren översatt om romanen från grunden. Nyutgåvan innehåller också ett förord av Colm Tóibín. Det är en perfekt introduktion till Lispectors unika litterära värld, som har varit stilbildande för flera genera­tioner förfat­tare och kritiker.<br/><br/><i><b>-- Macabéa! Nu ska du få höra! Lyssna noga, min blomma, för jag har något mycket viktigt att berätta för dig. Det är något mycket stort och glädjande: ditt liv kommer att förändras fullständigt! </b></i><br/><br/><i><b></b></i>Macabéa lever ett fattigt och innehållslöst liv i Rio de Janeiros slum. Hon älskar Coca-Cola och fantiserar om att vara Marilyn Monroe, men enligt romanens världsvana, självsäkra berättare Rodrigo S.M. var hon dömd till elände redan från födseln: hon är ful, undernärd, oduglig och oälskad. Men av någon outgrundlig anledning verkar hon ändå fri inombords, till synes omedveten om hur olycklig hon borde vara. <br/><br/><i></i><b>Clarice Lispector</b> föddes 1920 i Ukraina men kom till nordöstra Brasilien redan under sitt första levnadsår efter att hennes judiska familj flytt undan pogromer och förföljelse. Efter sin mors död flyttade hon som nio-åring till Rio de Janerio, där hon idag ligger begravd och står staty. Hon debuterade som 23-åring med romanen Nära det vilda hjärtat och hålls idag som Brasiliens största moderna författare. Hon dog 1977. <br/><br/><b>Örjan Sjögren</b> är en flerfaldigt prisbelönt översättare från portugisiska och engelska. Han översatte <i>Stjärnans ögonblick</i> redan 2001 men har inför nyutgivningen gjort om översättningen från grunden.<br/><br/><b>"Lispector hade, i likhet med Borges i sina fiktioner, en förmåga att skriva som om ingen någonsin hade skrivit tidigare, som om verket med sin originalitet och friskhet kom till världen helt oväntat."</b> <i>Ur Colm Tóibíns förord </i>

I centrum för denna halsbrytande roman står Widström - alkoholiserad före detta center­partist - och hans gåtfulle följeslagare Mahbub. Tillsammans driver de genom ett Sverige som snabbt glider ur led: från Rågsved till riksdagens plenisal, vidare till Bollnäs och Norrtälje, i ett virrvarr av fylla, hallucinationer, politiska intriger och existentiella uppdrag. Runt dem samlas ett myller av excentriska gestalter: den mystiska fru Varg, politikern Östros, landshövdingen Abelin, den åldrande socialdemokraten Tobiz och en parade av korvgummor, gummigubbar och talmanslika figurer. Tillsammans bildar de så småningom de allierade - en grupp som försöker förstå vilket syfte de är kallade att uppfylla. Genom kryptiska tal, ritualer, visioner och demoniska teorier söker de mening i tillvaron, först genom att värna gångtrafikantens väl och ve, senare genom en än mer storslagen idé: att resa en femtio meter hög bronsstaty av Thorbjörn Fälldin. Texten är vild, rolig och skoningslös. Med absurda dialoger, poetiska utsvävningar och slapstickhumor skildras ett samhälle där logiken ständigt rämnar. Under satiren finns en allvarlig botten: en berättelse om missbruk, lojalitet och vänskap, om politisk baksmälla och människans okuvliga längtan efter ett högre mål - hur vansinnigt det än må vara. Detta är en roman för den som uppskattar politisk satir, surrealism och litteratur som vågar gå hela vägen.

It's time to make some big changes, starting with finally dating men for the first time.<br/><br/>Graduate student Kyle Swift moved to New York nursing a broken heart. He'd sworn to find someone his own age to crush on (for once). Until he meets a gorgeous, distinguished silver fox hockey player. Despite their intense physical attraction, Kyle has no intention of getting emotionally involved. He'll teach Eric a few tricks, have some mutually consensual fun, then walk away.<br/><br/>Eric is more than happy to learn anything Kyle brings to the table. And Kyle never expected their friends-with-benefits arrangement to leave him wanting more. Happily-ever-after might be staring them in the face, but it won't happen if they're too stubborn to come clean about their feelings.<br/><br/>Everything they want is within reach... They just have to be brave enough to grab it.<br/><br/><strong>Game Changers</strong><br/><ul><li><strong>Book 1: <em>Game Changer</em></strong></li><li><strong>Book 2: <em>Heated Rivalry</em></strong></li><li><strong>Book 3: <em>Tough Guy</em></strong></li><li><strong>Book 4: <em>Common Goal</em></strong></li><li><strong>Book 5: <em>Role Model</em></strong></li><li><strong>Book 6: <em>The Long Game</em></strong></li></ul><br/><br/><strong>Need more Rachel Reid?!

Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup <em>and</em> a recent scandal... Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone.
