Aprašymas

A new voice that disrupted Lithuanian literature! On the morning of his 29th birthday, Lithuanian Stasys Šaltoka wakes up next to a woman he doesn't know, in his own bed, in New York, realising that his days look good only through Instagram filters. Ferocious anxiety lurks under the photogenic everyday surface, and the question WHY? keeps poking him in the back – what the fuck should he do with his life? Stasys decides to change lanes and moves to Southeast Asia. New friends, an occasional wan tan mee, phad thai or mashed potatoes, all drowning in whiskey and sarcasm, leads him to making documentaries about the third world. Yet there is still just silence inside him.

Cold East is the second novel by Gabija Grušaitė, telling the story of today through an inner transformation lens of thirty-year-olds, through the search of profound happiness or meaning while dancing around the surfaces of life, and through human ties.

„Cold East is exceptional. Beautifully written and easy to read, it's a book about you and me – postSoviet hipsters. It's an intense exploration of values and the meaning of life in a modern Instagram society. I absolutely could not put it down." – Rūta Pulkauninkaitė-Macikė, CEO of hotel PACAI

„Gabija Grušaitė's novel exploded like a bomb on the Lithuanian literary scene, dragging us willy-nilly into the 21st century." – Violeta Kelertas, literary crictic, New Literature from Europe festival, New York City, 2018

    Super! Labai įtraukiančiai skaitėsi, tokia tragikomedija tarsi - nes aš 30+ su dviem mažais vaikais, ofisiniu darbu ir tarsi viskuo sutvarkyta pagal planą skaičiau apie tuos, kurie visai kitaip gyvena - keliauja, freelancina, nelabai sukuria santykius, ieško gyvenimo prasmės ir t.t. Dar veikėjų tarptautiškumas ir skirtingų kulturinių nuostatų, patirčių pristatymas labai įdomus buvo. Man labai žaisminga, smagi ši knyga buvo, nors ir kapstė gilias temas. Puikus miksas. Tapau Gabijos rašymo talento gerbėja.
