Rozprávkar
Vo štvrtom románe Barbary Nesvadbovej sa opäť stretávame s jedinečnou Karlou a – ako vždy – so zástupmi jej milencov. Zložité a ťažko uskutočniteľné rozchody si Karla kompenzuje v náručí iných mužov... Do hry vstupuje aj Dana, ďalšia osudová žena Márovho života. Príbehy sa začínajú prelínať, myšlienky a žiarlivosť oboch žien sú si občas podobné, rovnako ako vydieranie, plač a slzy. Rýchle odchody od jednej k druhej, výhovorky, klamstvá... Tentoraz je to aj smutné prelínanie: nie je tu len láska a sex, ale aj staroba a zomieranie. A medzi tým všetkým, priamo v centre, ako neuralgický bod, okolo ktorého sa všetko krúti, postava Máru, milenca, podvodníka, umelca života. Živé asociatívne rozprávanie, v ktorom sa autorka nebojí odhaľovať svoje slabé či silné ženské stránky, v ktorom nahlas deklaruje, že záleží iba na láske... Aj preto je jej Rozprávkar príbeh na zamyslenie.

What book are you reading/have you recently read?
Currently, it is a biographical interview of Mr. Kosatík with Ms. Třeštíková. I think that Pavel Kosatík is one of the best journalists for these topics, together with Renata Kalenská. His book where he interviews Věra Čáslavská is very important for me. Another book that has an impact on me is Hana from Alena Mornštajnová. It is the first one from her I have read, and it is really great. And I cannot forget Umina verze from Emil Hakl. I like him as an author and as a human. I can also recommend Paradoxical Happiness which is the last book from Gillers Lipovetsky to everybody. It is a reflexion of the current hyperconsumer world with unworldliness, without deprecation, with understanding and extremely fitting analysis.
What film has she recently watched?
Blade Runner, quite strange one :-). And from the Czech ones, it was Po strništi bos. I like that book and whole poetics from old Mr. Svěrák.
What series does she like?
13 Reasons Why. It was interesting.
What music has she recently enjoyed?
Muse. Bi introduced it to me. Čtyřícítka from Lenka Nová. I will never vote for Mr Horáček but his texts are genius. And I love Barbra Streisand. I have also enjoyed Don Giovanni recently, with Placido Domingo as a conductor. It was amazing.
What information or articles do resonate with her? (It does not need to be related to politics, it might be some motivation, development or anything else.)
Anything related to topics about daily habits and rituals, what she uses in her work – cafe, cafe, cafe, cola light, vitamin C, cigarette, cafe.

".. Není lehčí cíl k nakopnutí než žena, která prosí. A když prosí žena, kterou ten daný muž tři roky miloval,tři roky se před ní ponižoval, tři roky dokazoval lásku, když ona konečně prosí, pak nastává fáze vítězství. On si pak těžko klekne k ní, aby se výchozí body vyrovnaly. To ne.Pozice by se vyrovnaly a ti dva by žili šťastně až navěky. Jaký nesmysl. Právě naopak. Když ona klečí, on se ještě více napřímí. Jako by její neštěstí jemu dávalo křídla..."

Tato poměrně útlá kniha obsahuje víc pochmurnosti, hořkosti, upřímnosti a zoufalosti než se z názvu dá vyčíst.
Autorka líčí jak dokáže láska oslepit člověka, jak dokáže udělat z ženy zoufalou oběť. Autorka líčí příběh o pohádkáři- muži, který nemá v životě jasno, který tápe mezi dvěma ženami, který lže, aby nezůstal na všechny problémy a dluhy sám. Nakonec však dojde k vystřízlivění, a Pohádkář skončí tam, kde si zaslouží- ve vězení a ve vzpomínkách.
Téma je zajímavé,slovní zásoba autorky je bohatá. Nicméně podle mého názoru je autorčin sloh mírně zmatený.
Na film se kouknu kvůli Macháčkovi....
3/5

Předchozí díly nevyžadovaly velké soustředění… tady jsem chvílemi nevěděla, kdo je kdo, a kdo a s kým má spát a spí :-D
