Krátky popis
Traditional African narrative forms combined with European
modernism. &,nbsp, The stories comprising The Healer, Marek
Vadas’s first collection, which was originally published in 2006,
are steeped in the culture, rituals, and traditions of Africa,
blurring the boundaries between dream and reality and peopled with
characters whose gender, shape, skin color or even memories may
change at a stroke. Nevertheless, Vadas refuses to exoticize this
world, and many of the stories, told in pared-down language, blend
mythical elements with realistic depictions of harsh living
conditions, economic deprivation, and colonial oppression.The
narratives unfold from the perspective of their
protagonists—children (often orphaned), and men struggling to make
ends meet and trying in vain to resist the allure of strong women
endowed with magic powers. As a Slovak writer focusing on the
African continent, Vadas is a rare voice that helps to build
bridges between very different cultures, and now his writing is
introduced to the global anglophone readership. &,nbsp,
