Description
Fluidity, volatility, chaos, confusion, fragmentation, uncertainty, anxiety, crisis, polarization - these words often describe today's world. When literary critic and journalist Jan Bělíček pondered which word best captures our present, the strange term "murmur" suddenly jumped out at him. It can be difficult to navigate the buzz of the murmur. How does contemporary fiction respond to it? Is literature lagging behind reality, or can we find answers in today's prose on how to escape the clutches of the murmur? In his distinctive anthology of contemporary fiction, Jan Bělíček explores themes such as gender, anxiety, and race, seeking their reflection in the works of contemporary authors like Elena Ferrante, Karl Ove Knausgård, Édouard Louis, and Sally Rooney.
