Radość życia

Roma Ligocka

Roma Ligocka’s latest book is composed of new and unpublished texts – it is a kind of notebook jotted down by the author, including mini short stories/reflections, as well as brief images/miniatures, quick notes, attempts to capture a mood, an impression, descriptions of mini situations, and the author’s thoughts. The author’s favourite themes are all accounted for – all written in a first-person narrative. The author is also the narrator, and so she writes of herself, what she observes, tastes, and experiences of the world and of people. There are tales of and reflections on a lonely everyday life she grapples with, on ways of overcoming it, the passing of time, feelings, on building a relationship with another person, tales of a journey to Malaga, the people she met there, a lonely star, the world of today (e.g. the terrorist attack in Berlin, émigrés), and recollections/freeze-frames from childhood. This is a kind of “private prose,” written in Ligocka’s characteristic style – directly to her readers, with a heavy dose of emotion, with care for an optimistic and uplifting conclusion.
