Summary

Nora Verde: About love, beatings and revolution

Love, beatings and revolution, three words-boulders, are the three thematic frameworks within which the nine protagonists of this book move. Written from the position of those who resist, defy, or disrupt patriarchy in any way, these stories refuse to leave their heroines on the sidelines, but throw them into the very center of the struggle. They receive blows and start 'revolutions', aware that their scene is the streets, squats, wide public spaces, but also claustrophobically small bedrooms, kitchens where love is cooked and fried on the strong fire of jealousy, and each of those four walls between which they are persistently trying to be closed. Moving from stories-miniatures in the spirit of the Anglo-Saxon tradition to longer narratives, with sharp humor and excellent dialogue sections, the author with equal ease portrays young anarchists, activists, retired assistant cooks, defiant girls, teachers who are losing ground under their feet, lesbians tired of everyday, multi-decade coming out...

Nora Verde's stories are assembled into an interesting narrative puzzle, continuing where the author left off with the novel Until supplies run out, showing us how violence can be defeated by love, and every such victory is a small revolution.

Nora Verde (Antonela Marušić) was born in 1974 in Dubrovnik.
She completed her studies in Croatian language and literature. She began to engage in literary practice as a student when she published her first book of poetry, Sezona bjegova (Narodno sveučilište, Split, 1994). Her poems were published in the poetry anthology Clouds (Matica hrvatska, Zadar, 1998) of the Zadar Student Literature Club. Since 2010, she has been writing and publishing literary works under the literary name Nora Verde. She is the author of the prose books Posudi mi smajl (Meandar, 2010) and Until supplies run out (Sandorf, 2013).
Her stories were published in the collection Pristojan život (lesbian short stories from the Ex Yu area), (Labris 2012) and the book of short stories Zagreb Noir (Durieux, 2014), which was translated into English and published in November 2015 in the American independent house Akashic Books.
