Outstanding title for adults:
GENI, MENI, SENI (THE ORIGIN OF GRANDMOTHERS) (2023)
“Geni, meni, seni” might not be the kind of novel we’re accustomed to, but it is undoubtedly a novel that our time demands and brings it forth. The fragmentariness elevated to the level of just one dimension of the novelistic literary hologram, combined with the poetic and visual, the realistic and fictional, allows for the genre transformation of short prose (on a micro level) into a novel (on a macro level).
