Paperback. Condizione: Good. Bea Vianen rose to prominence as a writer in both her native Suriname and its European colonizer, the Netherlands, with the publication of My Name is Sita in 1969. Set in the 1950s in the Caribbean Dutch colony during an era of social and ethnic turmoil, this coming-of-age novel shadows Sita, a young East Indian girl, as she copes with the loss of her mother and defends herself against her father's many mistakes, while also trying to care for her younger brother and carve out a life for herself in a staunchly rigid culture. Beneath the festering, lush, and humid tropical setting, Sita's struggles only become more difficult with her best friend's departure and an unwanted pregnancy. Now considered a contemporary Dutch classic, My Name is Sita makes it all too clear what women have had to, and continue to, sacrifice in the name of claiming their identity.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. As the frequency of air-raid sirens sending an apartment building's residents to the basement increases, the neighbor children block out reality with the toys at hand--some imported from Western Europe and North America, others regional knockoffs or questionably improvised. Masa Kolanovic's Underground Barbie brilliantly captures the vagaries of childhood as innocence gives way to the horrors of the news and the intrigues of sexual curiosity. The idealized glamour of Barbie and Ken on an endless honeymoon morphs into make-believe scenarios that reflect the splintering social structure brought about by the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s: politicians campaigning to define what it means to be a real Croatian, a refugee ball with disgusting dolls that are lesser than genuine Barbie products, the discovery of a mass grave filled with headless corpses thought to be Ken's mistresses. Underground Barbie deftly renders how the power of imagination is used to overcome hardship, alongside a sharp critique of consumer culture, made even more stark against the shredded backdrop of a great socialist experiment.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. I am the nameless crew member who died on January 27, 1597. So reports the Dutch narrator of Strange and Perfect Account from the Permafrost from his icy grave on the Arctic archipelago Novaya Zemyla, separating what is known today as the Barents and Kara Seas in Russia. But when this expedition set out to find a northeast passage from Europe to China, the landmasses blocking such a route were unknown. While the expedition failed, the narrator becomes a sentient part of the landscape, privy to centuries of change. Meditating on the realities of human hubris that led to his early demise, unpacking his childhood in and around Amsterdam, and commenting on the dramatic technological and climactic changes he endures, history and fiction clash with tectonic force. From real-life figures like cartographer Petrus Plancius to Arctic foxes and transcendent shaman, and peppered with references to countless historical events-- ranging from the Reformation to Stalin's labor camps and atomic weapons testing-- this boldly imaginative, profoundly beautiful novel argues that the unchanging characteristics of human behavior are unquestionably why the natural world has changed in so many ways.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Ivana Bodrozic's In a Sentimental Mood is emotional, but never woeful, deliberate, yet playful poetry capable of reaching both the highest and deepest registers of expression. From abstract jazz-inspired musings to bedroom intimacies, these poems converse with the idea that being alone is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. To lose your dignity and the dignity of your words-that is the worst thing.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Neon South is an off-the-beaten-path Latin American travel narrative that unfolds like a novel, shadowing locals all too aware of how outside influences, from colonialism to globalism, have changed their lives. From the drug cartel-controlled squares of Mexico to Venezuelan jungles where the outside world threatens traditions, Marko Pogacar absorbs all he encounters with the eyes and words of a poet, finding humor in the absurd and intimacy in despair. Unexpected similarities surface in the assemblage of these tropical experiences fused together with Pogacar's memories of living through the dissolution of Yugoslavia: "After all, are our customs, our kingdoms, our churches and wars, our arsons and human sacrifices one iota different from the Aztec ones?".…
