Juvenilia (KŪNAI 3)

Book 3 of Strangers Press' KŪNAI chapbook series.

“That spring, as if by agreement, we got it into our heads that something should finally happen, something should change.”

A selection taken from the memoirs of a youth spent growing up in a small town - its fascinations with fads, fashions, slang and bands; its successful/disastrous explorations of personal style and taste; what''s cool, what''s not cool; all pitched at the question and at times painful process of working out who we are in the world.

KŪNAI, meaning 'bodies', is our first 'mini series' of five chapbooks showcasing in this case writing never-before-seen in English from a diverse selection of the finest contemporary writers and translators working in Lithuanian today.

True to the series title, these stories display a wide panorama of 'bodies'; political, social, physical; they deal with corporeality, like collages made of details, symbols and impressions. Above all, though, they're great short reads; like little shots of espresso for the mind - each their own experience, in series, but all building together into one beautifully designed set that's sure to give you that Strangers Press literary buzz...
