ΧΑΡΤΙΑ ΥΙΟΘΕΣΙΑΣ
(ΔΙΓΛΩΣΣΗ ΕΚΔΟΣΗ, ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ - ΑΓΓΛΙΚΑ)
Εκδότης: LOGGIA
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 7572-0016

Το εκτενές αφηγηματικό ποίημα Χαρτιά υιοθεσίας χωρίζεται ή συντίθεται από τρεις φωνές: της υιοθετημένης κόρης, της θετής μητέρας και της βιολογικής μητέρας. Οι φωνές των τριών γυναικών πλέκονται, καθρεφτίζοντας τις τεμνόμενες διαδρομές τους. Η κόρη, γεννημένη από Σκωτσέζα μητέρα και Νιγηριανό πατέρα, μιγάδα, υιοθετήθηκε κατά τη βρεφική της ηλικία από ζευγάρι λευκών Σκωτσέζων μεσοαστών. Αρχικά το έργο γράφτηκε και μεταδόθηκε στο ραδιόφωνο του BBC Radio 3 και στη συνέχεια αποτέλεσε μέρος της πρώτης, ομότιτλης, ποιητικής συλλογής της Κέι (199...

ΤΡΟΜΠΕΤΑ
Εκδότης: ΜΕΛΑΝΙ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2738-0103

«Ήταν το μυστικό μας. Αυτό ήταν όλο. Πολλοί άνθρωποι έχουν μυστικά, έτσι δεν είναι; Ο κόσμος κυριαρχείται από μυστικά. Τι είδους μέρος θα ήταν ο κόσμος χωρίς αυτά; Το μυστικό μας ήταν ακίνδυνο. Δεν έκανε κακό σε κανέναν». Το μυστικό στο οποίο αναφέρεται η Μίλισεντ Μούντι, χήρα του μεγάλου τρομπετίστα της τζαζ Τζος Μούντι, μπορεί να ήταν ακίνδυνο όσο εκείνος ζούσε, όταν όμως πεθαίνει και η αλήθεια έρχεται στο φως, το σοκ είναι μεγάλο για πολλούς ανθρώπους. Μπορούμε να το αποκαλύψουμε, ο σύζυγος της Μίλισεντ ήταν, στην πραγματικότητα, γυναίκ...

(P/B) BANTAM
Εκδότης: PICADOR
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3484-0257

Jackie Kay's first collection as Scottish Makar is a book about the fighting spirit - one, the poet argues, that we need now more than ever. Bantam brings three generations into sharp focus - Kay's own, her father's, and his own father's - to show us how the body holds its own story. Kay shows how old injuries can emerge years later; how we bear and absorb the loss of friends; how we celebrate and welcome new life; and how we how we embody our times, whether we want to or not. Bantam crosses borders, from Rannoch Moor to the Somme, from Br...

This fierce, funny and compassionate collection explores every facet of that most overwhelming and complicated of human emotions: love.

The Adoption Papers could well become a key work of feminism in...

RED, CHERRY RED (CD WITH BOOK)
Εκδότης: BLOOMSBURY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0517-0191

I always looked out at the world and wondered if the world looked back at me. . . From the hoarse, heaving seas of the Scottish isles to the dreamy streets of Paris, Jackie Kay takes the reader on a journey through memory and landscape, meeting a menagerie of characters on the way: fierce old Mrs Dungeon Brae, a weather-beaten fisherman, a girl with red running shoes and the exotic, the death-defying Cat Mandu. A wonderfully evocative new collection of poems to read and listen to from award-winning Scottish poet Jackie Kay. (From the...

Jackie Kay's compassionate, life-affirming and extraordinarily moving memoir. From the moment when, as a little girl, she realizes that her skin is a different colour from that of her beloved mum and dad, to the tracing and finding of her birth parents, her Highland mother and Nigerian father, Jackie Kay's journey in Red Dust Road is one of unexpected twists, turns and deep emotions.

(P/B) WHY DON'T YOU STOP TALKING
STORIES
Εκδότης: PICADOR
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3484-0022

In Jackie Kay's first collection of stories, ordinary lives are transformed by secrets. Her world might seem familiar - sex, death and family cast long shadows - but the roles of mothers, daughters and lovers are imagined and revealed in the most surprising of ways. Sometimes it is the things that we choose to hide within ourselves which can transform us - and that has never been more true than in Jackie Kay's warm, exuberant storytelling. She sees the extraordinary in everyday life, and lights it up with humour and generosity in a way tha...

(P/B) FIERE
Εκδότης: PICADOR
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3484-0127

Jackie Kay's new collection is a lyric counterpart to her memoir, Red Dust Road, the extraordinary story of the search for her Nigerian and Highland birth-parents; but it is also a moving book in its own right, and a deep enquiry into all forms of human friendship. Fiere - Scots for 'companion, friend, equal' - is a vivid description of the many paths our lives take, and of how those journeys are made meaningful by our companions on the road: lovers, friends, parents, children, mentors - as well as all the remarkable and chance acquaintanc...
