Notes from Georgia. From September 2024 to September 2025, Georgia underwent a transformation—from a young democracy with a pro-European orientation to a state ruled by a single party, where fear, censorship, and the systematic elimination of the opposition reign supreme. In the space of a single year, a gradual but relentless transformation took place. The book follows how the change took place – month by month. The author is a young Czech woman who spent a year in Georgia as a researcher, but instead of doing her usual fieldwork, she witnessed a dramatic social upheaval.

Pets. The novel is a fantastic allegory, which the author herself describes as a “prison fairy tale.” With extraordinary exaggeration, linguistic inventiveness, and satire, the author depicts life behind bars—but from the perspective of animals.

The main character is the free-spirited Cat (Kotan), who leads a gang in the prison yard.
