Description
Lyrical Essays on the Lives of Women in Mature Adulthood
Euphoria, sadness, beauty, body, relationships… These are the themes that Lenka Kapsová, along with other women, explored in her book "Fifty." What do women live through during the transition period? Now she embarks on a solo journey and processes the same motifs in short texts that she calls "lyrical essays." Although the book revolves around life after fifty, its themes are much broader. Farewells with mothers, a long-held desire for white sneakers, an embarrassing incident with incontinence, or the struggle to assert oneself creatively in a group of younger men — these are topics that the author views in a fresh and original way. If you’re curious whether one can touch disorder sacredly, how to use invisibility as a superpower, or why Generation Z shouldn’t be called snowflakes, dive with the author into texts meandering through the adventurous waters of life in mature adulthood.
