She will discuss the debut with the architect and writer Ajda Bracic.
Rattlesnake is a stunning novel that takes under scrutiny the (almost) ordinary Slovenian family, within which, above all, the relationship between mother Vera and daughter Nina. The space between them has always been full of denied grievances, shame and longing, which later determine two other important relationships for Nina; the one she has with herself and the rattle that has been bubbling mercilessly in her from an early age, and the one she establishes with her partner Bojan. Although this is not quite what she would like, the protagonist feels at the first meeting that it is "a deadline[o] that she may be able to domesticate", and how could she not, when it is with this very hand, trembling from too much alcohol and with the blows she will inflict on her, that she relives everything that she knows from the primary family over and over again ... will Nina's rattle ever go silent? Will the wind of everything that it drags behind it ever subside, or will she learn its language and listen to it? A masterfully written novel about intergenerational pattern-passing, motherhood, domestic violence, abandonment and everything else that defines us and raises the question of how free our decisions really are.

O prvencu se bo pogovarjala z arhitektko in pisateljico Ajdo Bračič.
Klopotec je presunljiv roman, ki pod drobnogled jemlje (skoraj) običajno slovensko družino, znotraj te pa predvsem odnos med mamo Vero in hčerko Nino. Prostor med njima je od nekdaj poln zatajevanih zamer, sramu in hrepenenja, ki kasneje določajo tudi dva druga za Nino pomembna odnosa; tistega, ki ga ima do sebe in do klopotca, ki v njej neusmiljeno brbota že od malih nog, ter tistega, ki ga vzpostavi s partnerjem Bojanom. Čeprav ta ni čisto tak, kot bi si želela, protagonistka ob prvem srečanju začuti, da gre za »rok[o], ki jo bo morda lahko udomačila«, in le kako je ne bi, ko pa bo ravno s to roko, tresočo od preveč popitega alkohola in z udarci, ki ji jih bo zadajala, znova in znova podoživljala vse tisto, kar pozna iz primarne družine … Bo Ninin klopotec kdaj utihnil? Se bo veter vsega, kar vleče za sabo, kdaj polegel ali pa se bo naučila njegovega jezika in mu prisluhnila? Mojstrsko izpisan roman o medgeneracijskem prenašanju vzorcev, materinstvu, družinskem nasilju, zapuščenosti in vsem drugem, kar nas definira in odpira vprašanje o tem, kako svobodne so v resnici naše odločitve.
