O istorie politico-sentimental? a capitalei noastre. De ce o istorie politico-sentimental?? Pentru c?, ?n evolu?ia Bucure?tiului, de-alungul secolelor, afacerile politice s-au ?mpletit adesea, inevitabil, cu b?t?ile inimii. Chiar prima perioad? a cet??ii, ca ?i capital? domneasc?, tutelat? de figu ra dominant? a doamnei Chiajna, poate fi b?nuit? de un senzualism crud care a deschis drum acelui fenomen pe care Ionescu-Gion ?l numea at?t de plastic ?ginecolatrie“, adic? ascultarea dovedit? de domnitorii valahi fa?? de so?iile lor.

Motanul, romanul din 1997 al lui Pat Gray, este o alegorie politic? plin? de umor. C?nd animalele se v?d r?mase singure ?n casa p?r?sit? de st?p?ni, huzurul pa?nic de p?n? atunci las? locul luptei pentru supravie?uire ?i putere. Ce ambi?ii are Motanul? Ce pune la cale ?obolanul? Ce g?nde?te meditativul ?oarece? Vom afla din aceast? poveste care a fost pe bun? dreptate comparat? de critici cu Ferma animalelor orwellian?.

C?teva dintre calit??ile pe care eu le apreciez cel mai mult la o carte sunt simplitatea scriiturii, lipsa de preten?ii intelectuale (prin intermediul c?rora autorul ar vrea s? arate c?t e el de de?tept) ?i naturale?ea textului, adic? autenticitatea. ?#confuz” are toate aceste calit??i. ?n plus, cartea mai beneficiaz? de c?teva atuuri foarte importante: povestea este una universal?, plin? de ?nt?mpl?ri credibile, care se pot ?nt?mpla oric?rui om ?i care pot avea loc oriunde ?n lume, iar scriitura are o oralitate u?or de identificat ?nc? de la primele pagini. (Adrian Tele?pan) ?#confuz” nu e o carte despre homosexualitate. E o carte despre oameni. Despre drumul fiec?ruia spre el ?nsu?i. Despre puterea de a accepta ce g?se?ti atunci c?nd ajungi la tine. Despre a nu te (mai) min?i. Nu atunci c?nd e?ti singur ?i gol ?i te prive?ti ?n ochii sufletului. Pentru c?, atunci, nu ?i vei mai min?i nici pe al?ii. Iar ?sta e primul pas spre asumare. ?i numai a?a vei putea fi fericit. ?#confuz” e o carte despre fericire. Copile, via?a e prea scurt? pentru a fi nefericit. Vrei s? fii o alt? umbr? care trece indiferent? prin via??? (Laura Nureldin) ?ti?i melodiile alea pe care le auzi o singur? dat? ?i te treze?ti fredon?ndu-le o or? mai t?rziu? E semn c? au intrat ?n tine. Cam a?a e ?i cu cartea asta. Nu e Beethoven. E un c?ntec care pare n?scut la o chitar?, pe plaj?, l?ng? un foc de tab?r?, sub luna plin?. ?l ascul?i z?mbind ?i ??i d? o stare de plin. ??i r?m?ne pe piele ca ni?te fire de nisip. G?ndul nu ??i fuge ?n alt? parte. E?ti acolo, ascul?i ?i admiri sinceritatea omului care improvizeaz? la chitar? f?r? s? ?ncerce s? ??i demonstreze nimic. C?nt? liber despre ceva-ul lui, timpul trece pe nesim?ite, s?dind ?n tine o senza?ie de bine. S? mai c?n?i, Alex! S? mai c?n?i! (Natalie Ester) Dincolo de sui?uri ?i cobor??uri, de momente-surpriz? ?i certuri interminabile, de scene erotice pasionale ?i absurd cotidian, acest roman e un incredibil de reu?it portret al energiei s?lbatice, al confuziei mascate ?n obstina?ie, pe care numai la 20 de ani o po?i tr?i. ?i tu, drag? cititorule, ai fost confuz odat?. ?i ce bine a fost. Lectur? pl?cut?. (Lorena Lupu)

Rendhagyó útinapló egy egzotikus világról és a n?i lélekr?l Akkor kezdtem ábrándozni a ?sz?késr?l”, amikor gyerekkoromban beszereztem egy már akkor is ciki pálmafás-tengerpartos posztert a zsebpénzemb?l, és felragasztottam a gyerekszobám falára, nem zavartatva magam szüleim d?bbent pillantásától. Attól kezdve a téli estéken odaképzeltem magam a kókuszpálma alá, ahol h?ség van, és – bár akkor még nem jártam tengerparton – szinte hallottam a tenger zúgását, egészen elalvásig. Elérkezett az id?, hogy beváltsam a magamnak tett ígéretet, és teljesülj?n a gyerekkori álmom: néhány éve télen ?megsz?ktem” kedvenc városomba, Bangkokba, és k?rbeutaztam Délkelet-?zsiát. Találkozásokról, naplementékr?l, ázsiai mesékr?l és elképeszt? sorsokról, egzotikus nagyvárosi lüktetésr?l, lakatlan szigetekr?l és egy másfajta életszemléletr?l szól ez a k?nyv, amit egy thai pálma alatt kezdtem írni. ?t forró, napsütéses téli hónap alatt sokat tanultam, és szinte minden megváltozott bennem és k?rül?ttem: a sors akaratából megtanultam elengedni, sorsfordító d?ntéseket hoztam, szembenéztem ?nmagammal, az újságíróval, a n?vel, az emberrel, mint talán még soha azel?tt. Ez a k?nyv nem a képzelet szüleménye, de ahányszor beleolvasok, a képzeletemben újra utazom, újra ott vagyok azok k?z?tt az emberek k?z?tt, akikt?l meg lehet tanulni ?LNI. Csupa nagybet?vel.
