Krátky popis
A beautifully unconventional debut novel about a girl, a boy, and a satellite—and a bittersweet meditation on loneliness, alienation, and what it means to be human. Longlisted for Canada Reads, shortlisted for the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for Literary Fiction and for Speculative Fiction. Named CBC Radio's Q Book Pick of the Month, a CBC Books Spring Reading List Title, a Shelf Life Books Book of the Month, a Toronto Life and Nikkei Voice summer read recommendation, one of Daily Hive's 10 Essential Reads to Celebrate Asian Canadian Writers, and one of Quill &,amp, Quirebooksellers' Books of the Year.On the eve of the new millennium, in a city in southern Japan that progress has forgotten, sixteen-year-old Anna Obata looks to the stars for solace. An outcast at school, and left to fend for herself and care for her increasingly senile grandfather at home, Anna copes with her loneliness by searching the night sky for answers. But everything changes the evening the Low Earth Orbit satellite (LEO for short) returns her gaze and sees her as no one else has before.After Leo is called down to Earth, he embarks on an extraordinary journey to understand his own humanity as well as the fragile mind of the young woman who called him into being. As Anna withdraws further into her own mysterious plans, he will be forced to question the limits of his devotion and the lengths he will go to protect her.Full of surprising imaginative leaps and yet grounded by a profound understanding of the human heart, Satellite Love is a brilliant and deeply moving meditation on loneliness, faith, and the yearning for meaning and connection. It is an unforgettable story about the indomitable power of the imagination and the mind's ability to heal itself, no matter the cost, no matter the odds.

Obhliadka bytu
Stačí jediný naozaj, ale naozaj zlý nápad. Viac netreba. Pri obhliadke bytu sa nešikovný a neúspešný bankový lupič zamkne s premotivovanou realitnou maklérkou, s dvoma notorickými obdivovateľmi Ikey, s nepríjemnou multimilionárkou, so smutnou starou dámou, so ženou vo vysokom štádiu tehotenstva, s neznesiteľným starým dudrošom, s králičou hlavou – a neuveriteľne bláznivá tragikomická rukojemnícka dráma je na svete! Lupič sa nakoniec vzdá a rukojemníkov prepustí, ale keď do bytu vtrhnú policajti, nájdu ho prázdny. Pri následných svojských výsluchoch svedkov spoznávame ich pozoruhodné verzie a názory na to, čo sa v skutočnosti stalo. Z výpovedí pripomínajúcich komplikovanú skladačku vyplynie niekoľko otázok: Ako sa lupičovi podarilo uniknúť? Prečo sú všetci rukojemníci uštipační, nevrlí a zlostní? Čo sa to vlastne deje s ľuďmi? Zo švédskeho originálu Folk medangest (Bokf?rlaget Forum, Stockholm 2019) preložila Mária Bratová.
